I know who you are
You cannot hide behind your game
Cheating and lying
Behind false names you dwell
But you are always Death
To the pure.
Rest in your eternal hell and fire
Among the souls you desired more
Than you own.
The death you bring is false
And truth escapes your vision
You carry yourself up
By dragging others down
With your deceit
And you are a disgusting creature
Vile in your world of dishonor.
Mine eyes recognize your words
Wrought from the effervescence of waves
And currents
Read like poetry from the lips of dreamers
You will not win this fools game you play
Cheaters and liars fall prey to their own foul dogs
More oft than naught.
Rather than save life you abhor
Rather than cherish life you destroy
Death and death and death
Will find you
And that is for what you yearn
But the death of I shall not you savor
For only in your dreams.
You can let the blood
Of a thousand lives
And never taste the delicacy
Of that which is mine.
You wear the mask of healer
While stealing lives
I saw through the cracks of your mask
And know that all your heart is
A dead thing rotting in the pit of your despair
An empty shell you feel the need to fill
With the souls of others
Yet you will never be complete.

Doctor Death
You stir my mind with your condescending ways.
Please Mr. I don't want to die today.
You meddle and twist
by MebsPicasso
Like sleep they say,
How do they know
When no one came this way
And told them so.
Afraid of death, the
