I dwell within the shadows

Those corners hidden within darkness

Those closets cloaked in night that you so fear

You go about your lives oblivious and unaware

While you sleep so blissfully ignorant I wait

Will today be the today you depart from this life?

Shielded from my touch by an aura so bright

I wait, for I know your day shall come soon enough

While you sit alone thinking no one is there

Reminiscing upon the days events and your past

No one has a clue as to why they have forgotten past events

Why, it is because I have harvested the memories you hold so dear

You think you are so special

I could find hundreds just like you

Just as smart, just as glamorous

You hold this delusion that somehow you deserve to live

Ending the lives of you pathetic beings

You who are so arrogant as to assume you have earned your way

You who live like mice in a maze

You who wander about in this bewildering haze

Go about your daily business, the clock is ticking

Will today be the day you are no longer safe?

Will my chill touch close upon your heart?

You try and predict your death

Don't be so foolish as to assume to know my agenda

I lurk within those shadows you so fear

I harvest those dreams you hold so dear

I shatter those hopes that give your life meaning

This is how i see those i work with

And after my work is through

Upon reading this, I sincerely hope I don't appear too arrogant to you

Though after all, Death has a right to be demeaning
