The Reaper (Death)

Death he follows me wherever I go.

Whether it be in the depths of the forest

Or the deepest of seas death he follows me wherever I go.

He follows me in my dreams painted with the face of an angel.

As we dance on the dirt of the earth, death he follows me wherever I go.

He follows me into the darkness and covers me with sadness, I tell him I don’t want him while he screams that he loves me death follows me wherever I go.

He lays next to me as I wake and sings songs of the days to come, death he follows me wherever I go.

He wraps his arms around my body and bores his fingers in my soul, death he follows me wherever I go.

He whispers in my ear when I try to speak and wraps his hands around my throat death he follows me wherever I go.

He lays on top of me as I sleep running his wicked finger down my body death he follows me wherever I go.

He pushed himself into my life and I fell in love with him. Death I follow him wherever he goes.
