Watching Death

Watching Death:

Like black smoke grasping at your neck,

Awakening to check, (to check)

Blood stains, like paint across your wall,

Waiting for you to fall, (to fall)

That single moment you never see,

The character you don’t want to be,

The knife that stands on end in fear,

The person who won’t shed a tear

The man who watches as you walk,

The chills you get each time he talks,

The smell that lingers in his presence,

The words he always seems to reference…

Never-ending, always descending,

An unknown eye upon the defending,

Watching death with your closed eyes,

Only realising where when he dies,

Throughout time, you’ll never see,

How death is watching over me,

With shadows, that stay dry in the rain,

Avoiding endless pain (the pain)

Lost time is swallowed by the night,

Wronging what seems right (seems right)

Losing what seems rightly done,

Losing honour to become,

Losing Life to re instate,

Losing love replaced by hate,

Gaining powers you can’t control,

Gaining pain but losing soul,

Gaining eyes which watch in fear,

Gaining there but losing here…

Never-ending, always descending,

An unknown eye upon the defending,

Watching death with your closed eyes,

Only realising where when he dies,

Throughout time, you’ll never see,

How death is watching over me,

How death is watching over me,

And you…
