The Shinigami
"Though I walk through the valley of Death
"I shall not be afraid
"For I am the God of Death"
He whispered and clutched his braid
Shadows were strewn about the room
Darkness followed him always
Many a soldier has met his doom
For standing in his way
But the Shinigami is only a boy
With a heart and soul as well
Neither of which he knew the joy
Until in love he fell
She was a beautiful girl with sapphire eyes
Which burned like coals when she fought
And now with the stars her body lies
After achieving the peace she sought
The war they waged continues on
And that is why he hides in fear
It will not end 'till both are gone
Because her spirit still lingers here
He loved her before they even met
An angel sent from above
He owed her his very life in debt
Her own was the cost of their love
The glow of her eyes haunts him still
As they dimmed and lazily shut
She gave her life for his of her own free will
And in her honor, his braid he shall cut.
