Choices

Did I have a choice?

Chosen, my fate,

My destiny, my life.

Shinigami I have become;

My heart, black soot,

My soul, stolen from me

Without my consent.

But then, when does anything

Happen by choice?

Never for me, my brothers of sin.

My companions are just as

Lifeless as I.

Yet I wonder if they understand

My torturous thoughts, terrifying nightmares.

They could never, for I,

The God of Death,

Have the blackest soul,

Darkest heart,

And forgotten feelings.

-The Lady Pris
