GLE – I wasn't planning on posting this till I wrote the music for it (it was going to be the music for a fan video), but I don't feel like doing it anymore, so here's another poem to add to my collection. My friend, Esme, suggested "Watching Death" as a title to an idea that eventually got titled "Bound to Murder" instead (and now belongs to the collection of ideas in my fic Now). I liked "Watching Death" but it didn't fit with that other fic, so it grew into a poem here. The poem is mainly set in the episode "Control Freaks". I do not own Danny Phantom or any of the characters or terms affiliated with him. I just like to play. The "Reaper of Souls" belongs to my sister, Fey. It's the title of a picture she drew and posted on DA and it's absolutely amazing!
Please welcome a performer who puts the "death" in death-defying acts... the Grim Reaper himself. - Freakshow
Watching Death
I can see you falling
I can hear you calling
You're coming close to
Losing it all forever
But it's like I'm frozen
I'm just watching you die
As you fall from the sky
I'm just watching death
Maybe when I became
A half-ghost
I left something behind
Maybe with these powers
Of the undead
I've become blind
Missing human emotion
When I'm in this form
When his hold on me
Is too much to break free
I can hear you calling
And I know there's something more
I don't remember
What I'm searching for
I think it might be life
As I stand here watching death
The Reaper of Souls
I wonder if this truly is
The destiny that's meant to be
No dreams, no hopes, no goals
And hiding in the shadows
You've been waiting all along
Trying to catch me as I fall
It is with you that I belong
But you're not standing next to me
And you're not watching death
If only then, could I see
For me, you'd give your last breath
Would I burden it upon you?
Would you take me as I am?
If any words there were to say
All would be, "I love you, Sam"
