Reaper

Poem:>

The Reaper's alive and real she follows close to your heel

Observing each step you take and hidden mistakes

She watches your fate with a clock and blade

You're never safe for she's patient and waits

She seen you in the cradle, She saw your deepest fears

She was creeping near when you shed your first tears

The thoughts you think, but others don't hear she sees it all

The phone calls you missed when you were loosing hope

The lies you told your peers and still maintain each year

She sees the meals you missed; The letters wrote

The feelings you hid when you felt alone

She was home watching you try and cope

She patted your back when you let go

She pulled you down when tried to float

She felt pity the first time them knifes kissed each wrist

She listened as you were writing each list

She peered into the future to look at your friends

She saw them with tears in their eyes; "It's too soon for you to die"

They were reminiscing you, and your touch as they cried

She went back to your side saying it wasn't quite time

She was met with the lies in your mind as you stood on a bucket

She seen the rope tied to your neck; She tried to stop that step

But she was late watching you fall into your last breaths

She saw the lingering regret, but their was nothing she could do

Her job is to take, but the Reaper recognizes, there was more to gain

Once again she watched the time stop for a temporary pain

Be the light others can't show, Be the water to the ones who can't grow, Be the friend others wish to know. Don't lose yourself to pain because it might never let go. 031
