Death

Death.
It’s under my bed.
So alive for something so deathly.
‘Arrrrrgh!’ It’s got my leg!
I will sleep in a coffin tonight, Scratching at the roof of my emotion.
I can never break out of this world.
Death.
It’s everywhere.
Deal with it.

Puppies.
Singing happily.
'LAlaLAla!'
Happiness is too shallow
Death is my only friend
Tra lala!
