Death's Reign

Death a cruel ruler.
Taking all I love away from me,
but always leaving me intact.
As if he is taunting me,
torturing me.

No mercy given,
always taking those
who are loved by all.

Death a cruel ruler.
Making the ones always left
wish for him to take them,
but always leaving them
to suffer alone.

Striking fear into everybody's heart,
so much that they
cannot live their lives.
Haunted by the idea of Death.

Death a cruel ruler.
He always wins.
even the strong wish
for him to take them away,
eventually.
