End of life
The tale of the angel of death
(Or for you Kh/ FF fans, Sephoroth)
The Child's breath drew slower,
The Pulse of the heart slowing,
The sound of the end of life.
To the call he came,
His path set,
An impenetrable shadow followed.
His goal was set,
His job on hand.
Some say he is the devil's son,
Others that he's God's left hand.
All far from the truth.
The Child's shallow breath beckoned him,
His never-ending job,
He could see the Child's shaking,
Taste his fear.
A strange flare of kindness hit his cold heart,
Pity for the child.
It was inevitable,
The child must die,
He tried to ease the child's passing,
"Come, play in eternal life,
Away from pain,
Come and have Fun,
In eternal life"
With the child's dieing breath,
A smile was born.
