Death Himself

A mother
Could never
Bury her kin
Unless her herself
Was smothered in
The smell and
Blinded by the
Blackness and was
Sent a letter from
Death himself.

Thanks...I have been told by many of my friends that my writing is very deep so I tried out the website. Even though I'm young it still doesn't hurt to try. This poem was inspired by Dark Shadows and Johnny Depp's character. Please show your friends my poem.
