The Reaper

He wears a cape,

As black as night.

It hides his body,

Uncovers not a slight.

He carries a scythe,

That glitters in the light of the moon.

He uses it to end lives,

Leaving body parts strewn.

His limbs are bones,

Not a single stroke of flesh.

He has no muscles, no hair,

He is a bony mesh.

He has lifeless eyes,

The darkest shade of grey.

You had better watch your back,

The Reaper will make you pay.
