Death and Life

Once upon a time, there's Death and Life,

Where in their world that's full of strife,

Death fed up all these tricks and lies.

He killed all souls when he took men's lives.

He's evil, ruthless, and lusts blood,

Until one day, there's something odd.

A little girl with green eyes and hazel brown hair,

Whose hair would dance smooth with the air,

Death's heartbeat suddenly began,

When in fact he doesn't have one even before man.

He's astonished, shocked, every word that means surprised,

Suddenly, the girl saw him and his heartbeat will rise,

The girl stepped closer to him and when she got close, she reached for his face,

In an instant, Death ran like he's in a race.

The girl is his enemy, the girl is Life.

The newborn, the innocent, the meak.

And there he finally realized, that he's weak all along,

Because he cannot kill his enemy, which felt so wrong.

He is the symbol of hate, the opposite of love,

He is the crow while she is the dove,

Years bled, and Life grew so swift,

And Death felt in his chest, that very deep rift.

He can't bear to look at her,

He hates and love, his mind is a blur.

Because the truth is he only did hate,

But now how come love became the fruit he ate?

There he witnessed her growth,

There he no longer has grief and loathe,

Because now all he could do is to secretly smile,

On the girl he love who's dancing far from miles.

A goblin saw her and wanted her meat so fresh,

However, Death took his life before it takes her flesh,

He killed demons, monsters, and even defied gods that would harm that enchantress,

And no one ever thought Death could be selfless.

But all Life saw is his killings,

Because of that she lost her liking,

On the shadow with the very long scythe,

And Death can't do anything but to cry at night,

Until one night, a monster saw Life and wanted her soul,

Death saved her again with her body as a whole,

But the monster is persistent and would only stop chasing her if she is no longer a virgin,

Death never felt so hurt before,

Because the only way to save her is to hurt her the most,

And with tears on his eyes he put on his mask,

And did the only thing that would save her at last.

She struggled to free from him but he's too strong,

And there she cried hard and tried to sing a song.

Death cried as he took advantage of her,

For he cannot bear the pain set on her fate,

But because of this, Life is saved,

The monster stopped because now she is impure,

And Life hated Death for this, she broke into tears saying she's now broken.

But she never knew that Death is destroyed.

Because her tears are the knives to his heart,

Now he got crushed very hard.

Because he learned that nothing else would hurt you more,

Than looking at the person you love weap into her arms knowing that it is you who were the reason why she always mourned.
