Ode To The Reaper
by Jessica Stamps
Death.
It's like the everlasting stench of cheap perfume,
Swirling around your brain until you meet your doom.
Death.
There is no hidden door for you to escape.
Death is intertwined with fate.
Some die peaceful.
Some die mad.
Some die alone.
Others die sad.
When darkness envelopes you and you take your last breath,
One word will plague your mind.
That one word is death.
