Up the Hill

Trapped in the forest, going insane 
The cold breeze lingers, whispering my name
Silhouette surrounded by fire chant and dance
I will blow out the flames once I get a chance 

The trees look down on me and sees my fears
The waters comes from a lake full of my tears

Up the hill the reaper is waiting for me
Up the hill my headstone will be 
Up the hill is a figment of my imagination- a lie
Up the hill the reaper can say goodbye 

The moonlight and the stars twinkle so bright 
The garden brings peace within the night 
Ivy stones laid out on the loose brown sand 
Silhouettes call my name, holding out a hand

The trees look down on me and sees my fears
The waters comes from a lake full of my tears

Up the hill the reaper is waiting for me
Up the hill my headstone will be 
Up the hill is a figment of my imagination- a lie
Up the hill the reaper can say goodbye

Karamel, this is very vivid and emotional. I enjoyed reading it. Don’t go up the hill if the reaper is waiting for you :) ~Mark
