An unposted letter

To,

Death O' Death,
My Cold Prince,
Where art thou?

Your icy lips never felt
more warm and inviting,
Your freezing arms never seemed
more comforting than today.

Come claim me.
I wait for thee,
loveless and lifeless.
Come claim me before life re-claims me.

Yours,
Deadsoul

An undead dead soul?

I feel the soul reaper does not make the dead souls wait, like the living souls have to wait otherwise, all their lives.

Nice read.

Cheers,
Blasphemous Aesthete

@ Sawan,
Thanks but I am a mortal and immortality would be a curse. So, I hope he reads it someday :)

@ BA,
Hi! Nice to see you back after a long time. Well the deadsoul is still trapped in a body so it wishes to be released which only death can do.

@ Tall Guy,
Thanks for liking them. Well,...its kinda difficult to put that down in just a few words, probably when I'll be able to do it will let you know.

Sh@s said...

@ Compassion Unlimitted,
Thanks! If Life wouldn't then something else other than Death might.
