• I am the bringer of Death

    I greet my patient formally
    Purely out of courtesy

    But then it is off to business
    And their life has to end

    Sometimes we sit and watch family members crying
    Wishing we could give some word of comfort

    Sometimes there is no one there
    Only memories wished to be forgotten

    But after that I never see
    Not one of my patients again

    I have never dared to break this rule
    Never caring, until you

    You, the one with all the family
    Who didn’t seem to care

    You, who told me I was a soulless beast,
    And spoke the truth to my greatest fears

    You, who told me you, hated me
    And hurt during our time together

    And I watched
    And I searched

    For an answer to my question
    can I see you again?

    And there you are in front of me
    Taunting and teasing me

    Just out of my reach
    The epitome of my dreams

    So why did you go
    And choose another

    Why did you condemn me to Hell
    Without a second thought

    You stole God’s heart
    And with mine too

    But I am merely Death’s messenger
    A lowly servant

    You vile little creature
    Have stolen my heart tonight
