TW// dark imagery about death


Watch the lights, they shiver and decay

It is the end of your era, your final day

If it's nothing you feel, why do your teeth chatter so?

A boat with useless sticks, but alas you row

Adorned with ribbons, tied into bows

Watched by the stars, and their eerie glow

Fret not, dear child, perhaps it is best

To be finally delivered to her Mistress of Death

A casket of glass, bound in hide of cow

She will be pleased, you were only hers to take anyhow


Love exists only to distract you, with his charming beguile

You forget your place, you have a curse most vile

Whatever be it you seek, you must understand

Time, she ticks fast, with her glass of sand


Even the girls of gossamer and gold

Will become threadbare, and grow quite old

Even the boys of steel and rose

Will begin to rust, which everyone knows


A story with an end, definite and precise

Life is a flower that never blooms twice
