    Come to Me

     Reaper calls to me
    Sings to me
    “come to me, my love”
    Fading in and out
    Like a painful memory
    Until nothing alive is left
    Of a soul that can’t be free
    Of a past that hold me prisoner
    Blind to it and blind to love
    While seeing a world
    So distant and cold
    Marvelous and painful
    Full of promises untold
    Silly school girl with a rose colored glass
    As everything around her
    Burns and turns to ash

    Reaper calls to me
    Sings to me
    “come to me, my love.”
    Sound the trumpets, lead the way
    Bring on that sublime darkness
    And eat the light of day
    Dance with distant shadows
    And feast with calm repose
    For how you managed this long
    Is something no one really knows
    No sense in trusting a heart
    That has long since rotted through
    Giving in to perfect stillness
    Is all there is really left to do
    So call me mature decedere
    And sing softly as I burn
    For the joy that I have found
    And the rest that I shall earn

    Beautiful poem. The emotions of the poem are well-felt by the reader, which is something not many poets can acheive. It's beautiful, in a way I can't quite fully comprehend yet.

    The reaper spins a convincing spell in this dark tale. It seems the protagonist has made up hermind, but the open endedness of the work leaves the possibility for a brighter outcome. Very atmospheric.

    Wow, I never even thought about that. I wrote it late last night and posted it right away so I wasn't sure if it was very good. Thank you for reading it
