For Double You

The clouds are dark this morning

A star ceased to shine the night before

 

Earth will feel its wrath today

It will drench her skin raw

 

I’ll join in the solemn ritual

Salted tears and broken waters

 

This is the end of the end

Death has finally outdone himself

 

He’ll come for you soon

you’ve his marks all over you

 

Death cheated W

but not you

 

You toyed with his sickle

swallowing it whole

 

A shot to the throat

A Sniper’s goal

 

Your life was to give and take

You took and death came

 

The clouds are dark this morning

A star ceased to shine the night before
