The Grim Reaper

The grim reaper eyes glow
as the god you pray to.
Fear tickles my feet as
I sink into his arms. I feel
at home.

The Scythe sings a song of 
demise, so now I open my 
mouth and  close my eyes. 
The imagery has appeared,
 a dark cloud of saddness 
is here.

My eyes cry black liquid 
as my mouth cries for help. 
I've left without knowing,
as my life is without help. 
The sound  of piercing flesh 
in the abyss, I came 
here so I wouldn't be missed.
