So I thought I'd steal one of Riley's ( .~. dark .~. dust .~. ) poems from her journal. xd
The Stolen Poem:
Hell's Bells are ringing of certain death
It stalks you now
This could be your last breath
"No, not me!" you cry
You shiver, you're so afraid
If not you, then who in your place shall die?
Would you prefer it be your mother?
It could be someone else
It could be your lover
Who would it hurt least to lose?
Decide now you greedy fiend
Or are you not able to choose?
I could take some wandering drunkard
And let you go, you know
His name but a word whispered
It doesn't matter anyways
How much longer do you think you have to live?
Years? months? days?
Even if you lived to be old and wrinkled
Is that how you would want to die?
Pained and crippled?
Yes, now you begin to see
It is your time
You must come with me
It stalks you now
This could be your last breath
"No, not me!" you cry
You shiver, you're so afraid
If not you, then who in your place shall die?
Would you prefer it be your mother?
It could be someone else
It could be your lover
Who would it hurt least to lose?
Decide now you greedy fiend
Or are you not able to choose?
I could take some wandering drunkard
And let you go, you know
His name but a word whispered
It doesn't matter anyways
How much longer do you think you have to live?
Years? months? days?
Even if you lived to be old and wrinkled
Is that how you would want to die?
Pained and crippled?
Yes, now you begin to see
It is your time
You must come with me
That's my favorite of hers. <3
Don't tell her I stole it.
She might get mad.
