i hear the somber bells toll
summoning my languid body
dearly beloved Death
is beseeching me once more
must i heed his loving call?
his bony hand snakes around my wrist
beckoning me to his realm
must i take a step forward?
his scythe poised around my neck
teasing me with its treacherous blade
must i pull myself closer and have it pierce me?
i set my blank oculus
to the weary life of the world
trying to muster even a shred of sympathy
but came upon to nothing
i gaze back to Death's face
clutch his beguiling scythe
& begin to hack myself
until my blood poured out
of this hollow shell
