Can you hear the swish of my cloak?
Tattering like the raindrops of my footsteps
They pierce your ears like a razor
Stabbing straight into your heart

Can you see my eyes?
Like the florescent moon that's come forth
To show his face only twice a whole

Can you feel my breath?
As I stand behind you
Breathing coldly so that the hairs on the back of your neck
Stand on end

Can you feel my touch?
So cold draining over your body
Deprived of the heat no matter how hard you try to hold it
Your blanket that keeps you warm

You say that I am not here
You mutter your own illusions for comfort in your solitude
You curse my name as I stand beside you

I am here
No matter how hard you try to wash the stains away
You still wish to whimper
To crawl into a corner
To hide with your tail between your legs
To plead and to cry
To wish that death had never come

But to become death itself
You become the reaper
Your tool is your only strength
You curse my name
You say I am not here
But I am, oh god I am

I am here only because of you
Didn’t you know?
I am here right beside you
Haunting you
Making every moment you are alive to wish you were not
I bring you the pain you must feel
For I am sorrow
I am tears
I am life
And I am death

You smile as if you are unaware
You talk as if you are innocent
You avoid it as if you were normal
Still, you were to be unexpected
Underestimated
To pay the price for what I have seen
The true pain that you shall feel

Your breath is cold
Freezing the air like winter’s ice
Your eyes are as black as coal
Your skin is pale
Almost as white as I

Still, no one can see
The truth of your sins on that single night
But as people cry
Shedding for me in vain
While you hide in the darkness
Giving off your false sympathy
I am here, not have I left
Only to remain here by your side
In your dreams as a transparent guest
Here to finish an ungiven deed

I press a frozen hand over your frost-covered cheek
Yet still, you have changed not
I am here, right here
Oh see what I have been through

To say the least, you shall suffer in pain with me
Though your darkness has yet to be shown to the world
And I am still alive
I will show you what true pain means
Just to touch your face with an icy hand
Then you shall see

Your tears are frozen
They are void just like your pain
Because what you feel is not what others think you feel
So tell me, why do you think I am here?
Why do you think I am at your side?
At the side of a traitor
At the side of a killer
To wish that I was alive
But that day will never come

You twist and you turn
You're cold
Your attempts to avoid me are foolish
Here, take my hand and make the pain go away

You wish, you whisper, you sigh
Still, I am here
I am here and always will be
For I will watch you as you crumble
Lying down upon the floor
Bleeding breathlessly

Your pain is gone in this life
But I shall bring you more suffering for your sins
I shall be your reaper in the next life
And you will wish that your actions never became
You will suffer
You will bleed
You will shed
You will lie
And yet you hide the pain as your soul ascends

You lie here unaware
Unsure of what will come
You will learn
You will learn what I have gone through
Just take my hand, and I will show you
What pain really means
