When Death Falls In Love

In a cemetery of black fog, the sadness and emptiness overcome her.

A heart waiting to be rescued, rescued from the black solitude she has hidden it inside of.

She leaves the same and sober memories behind; they all become a blur.

She writes her own epitaph on a nightly basis. 

This troubled girl who longs for death.

Her smiles only hide her feelings for so long. 

People always leave - things always go wrong.

This girl who relates to darkness, visits cemeteries, living in her world of monsters, vampires, witches, this evil she welcomes in.

No light, no hope.

She sinks deeper into oblivion.

Her heart turned black from years of lies, deceit - years of believing in people who would eventually leave.

The scars on her body inside and out.

The cuts she keeps creating just to feel alive - to feel the blood pouring out.

But she doesn’t feel alive, she doesn’t really care. She knows when the blood stops, she will still be alone, no one else there. 

She’s stuck in the spider webs,

She’s lost in the lies,

She wants him to return,

So she waits for him to revoke his goodbye.

The skulls in her nightmares come alive in the night,

They watch over her body, to make sure she stays in place.

No sleep, no salvation -

No hope to escape.

She’s locked in this hell with all of her fears -

That she isn’t good enough, that’s she’s not pretty enough -

The spiders, skulls and vampires of her nightmares.

She locks up her feelings, 

As she’s locked up her heart.

And she’s crumbling and breaking,

And she’s falling apart.

This tomb that calls to her - to lock her away,

The reaper welcomes her to enter into his tomb,

He wants her to stay.

The reaper has fallen in love with the girl,

Her gorgeous brown hair, her eyes; and their colours,

He wants her for himself, he wants to kidnap her,

He wants to protect her from all others. 

This girl who’s destiny is now set in stone,

The reaper won’t let her go,

He won’t let her leave,

He plans to take her at night,

While she sleeps. 

She goes to bed, 

As she whispers her last goodnight in her world, 

She falls into a deep sleep.

The reaper creeps in,

With his whispers of love, his promises of forever,

His beautiful face, she just can’t resist,

He saved her from the hell she lived in, he made her life better.

So off to the darkness she goes with him,

He tells her he loves her and kisses her hand,

She unlocks her love, he unlocked her heart,

Because finally she’s found the right man.
