The drawing is not mine, but it's fucking amazing. The illustrator is Dennis Carlsson. His Instagram is @dctattoo_swe. Look up some of his other stuff. It rocks. Hope you enjoy the poem. Bye Bye!

Pale white skin,
Black beads for eyes,
He will win,
Don't even try to cut ties.

If you want to fight,
And win against him,
He won't go light,
You'll probably lose a limb.

With a body made of bone,
And thin paper flesh,
It can kill you with a stone,
And eat you raw and fresh.

"He is the Rake",
Is his catchphrase,
He kills for his sake,
And he won't cease to amaze.

His killings are vile,
When he gets tired of waiting,
Your guts are in a pile,
Because he's too frustrating.

Either he takes your life,
Or you take your own,
This is a strife,
That'll chill you to the bone.

He can drive you insane,
At the foot of your bed,
Intoxicating your brain,
Screwing with your head.
