A letter from death I wait for her every night Just so she can paint pretty pictures Every night once she sheds a tear She pulls out that paintbrush and begin to tear She’s had this canvas for about 16 years Once clean white and pure untouched and untorn Now marked and colored in my favorite shade See, her skin became her canvas And daddy’s razor become her paintbrush Sketching strokes of what seemed like ‘read between the lines’ Her drawings soon colored in only a blood red. She stopped panting that day Because doctors pronounced her dead Funny how she thinks she’s free from hell When really i lured her right into my death cell Yours Truly Death

A letter from Death
A letter from death I wait for her every night Just so she can paint pretty pictures Every night once she sheds a tear She pulls out that paintbrush and begin to tear She’s had this canvas for about 16 years Once clean white and pure untouched and untorn Now marked and colored in my favorite shade See, her skin became her canvas And daddy’s razor become her paintbrush Sketching strokes of what seemed like ‘read between the lines’ Her drawings soon colored in only a blood red. She stopped panting that day Because doctors pronounced her dead Funny how she thinks she’s free from hell When really i lured her right into my death cell Yours Truly Death
