River of Tears
October 18, 2018
I trip into a river of all my tears
it's freezing cold, and full of my fears
I sink and sink until I fall to the bottom
and wake up to see someone dour and rotten
I fall this far oftten and I don't enjoy it
but I know this person loves to see me perish
Lucifer likes to stare at me with his eyes
he wears a sly grin and stares into mine
he loves to point at my life's clock
and mimick its rhythm: "Tick-tock!"
The reaper beside him is in a brave stance
His sickle is ready to take my last chance
But before they reach out and harvest my soul
I wake up in the river, wet and cold.
