THE REAPER'S SONG

though you ignore me  
i'm right here
waiting for the moment,  
dear,
when sweet and tender flesh  
goes cold --
no matter if you're  
young or old
there will be that  
happy time
when everything you are  
is mine
 
and then, my love,  
you've found your place
nestled in my cold embrace
where earth and sod become the sky
and only dark will fill your your eye
and silence fill your pretty ear
 
and i'll be there
 
 cuddled near
 
oh,  worry not -- you can't evade
my loving touch, for we were made
to be together, such is fate
and thus, my pet, i stand and wait
while lovers marvel  
at your style,
your worldly charm,
your girlish smile
 
those lovers do not bother me
for you are mine
 
and so are they
