ANGEL OF DEATH

.

Angel of Death

Many times throughout the years
We’ve battled in a tug of war
While he wins most, I do win some
But neither keeping score

An old familiar foe, I’ve come to respect
Though the consequences be immense
I’ll do my best to keep him at bay
Even as I question, at what expense

They take their toll, these constant struggles
Wearing me down little by little
Making me seam hard and unaffected
While my spirit turns ever so brittle

The sad fact of the matter is
Some sting more than others
This is especially true at those times
He comes to take away my brothers

All these years I’ve tried to hold it together
While witnessing so much pain
But my heart can only take so much
Before breaking from the strain

For the Angel of Death knows no mercy
He’s forever on patrol
He recruits the good as well as the bad
Stripping them bare to their soul

I will continue to wage war against him
Until he finally captures me
Protecting especially those whom I love
‘til my spirit is set free
