I’m from years of living in other’s shadows.
I’m from sleepless nights and vacant dreams.
I’m the Devil’s child, and Death’s bride.
I’m Fate’s advisor and G-d’s pawn.
I’m the one you dream about,
The one you scream about.
I’m the one with wiry hair and raging eyes.
I wear a bloodstained halo,
my honesty belongs to Sin.
I’m from the Demon’s piercing yell.
I swear to you, I’m straight from Hell.
I’m a book with no morals.
I’m a poem with no rhyme.
I’m from a place called nowhere.
I’m the widow of good.
I’m the keeper of time.
I’m a beast of humanity.
G-d’s creation gone wrong.
Yet, I’m the one you beseech for,
I’m the one you reach for.
My shoulders bear the weight of death,
G-d counts down my every breath.
Slowly. Slowly. Slowly.
I fade from this world, buried behind the statue
of Gabriel.
