dealing with the reaper

Reaper, you came without warning.
one minute we were a happy, intact, family,
the next we are fearful of your knocking.
(…because you’re everything we wished to avoid,

dealing with the reaper

Reaper, you came without warning.
one minute we were a happy, intact, family,
the next we are fearful of your knocking.
(…because you’re everything we wished to avoid,
knock, knock, knocking at our door…)

Reaper, why won’t you ever go away,
is it because you are jealous
that life is so warm, and death is so cold,
(…or are you just doing your duty
because our life is so temporary, and your side is so forever?)

Reaper, where are you headed
with our loved ones in your carriage,
where are you steering your Nightmare steeds
so that we can never see the again?
(…and how come you are the only one,
who ever makes it back across the eternal fold?)
