Reaper
Thy say the Grim Reaper is this tall dark shrouded creature with a scythe
but they’re wrong
I’ve seen the Reaper,
seen the Raven fine hair, the skin of milk and dark angel wings.
I’ve seen the arms, dark, infected, and cracked
the nails of black
and the crown of fire that's not a halo.
Yes, I’ve seen the naked body Reaper,
seen this dark seraphim watching me in the corners of my room,
lurking hungrily in the shadows
watching me with absent pearls for eyes
waiting like a ghoul to steal my soul
each time I’ve sliced my wrists
Yes, I've seen the Death Dealer bitch
and her sinister wicked smile
far too many damn times.
