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.
