Disclaimer: They're not mine! :( I am merely playing with them for a time.
Shinigami
Why?
Why am I still here?
When everyone I loved is gone.
I am Death.
But I could not save them.
Solo, dead,
I failed him.
Father Maxwell, Sister Helen,
Dead, all dead.
I found them in the rubble.
Innocents,
Dead because of me.
All I ever loved has fallen, gone.
Then I stopped believing,
In the God of Life.
He never proved that He existed.
But every day,
I see the one I have become.
I know there is a God of Death.
I am Him.
Everyone I love,
Has withered and died.
Yet still I love again.
When they look at me,
They see only the mask,
A laughing, happy,
Loud and cheerful mask.
It hides the pain,
The memories.
The hate.
We all wear a mask,
Even him.
Innocent angel,
Bloodied prince,
Broken Child.
Yet still he smiles,
Hidden behind a silver mask.
Mine.
Finally I put away the memories,
Make a new life,
In a new world.
After the war,
I pray,
He is gone.
I pray,
I never become Him again.
Another day,
Another war.
Welcome back,
Old friend.
Shinigami,
The God of Death,
Is back from Hell.
