Grim

I am dead.

Lifeless

I have departed the world of the living.

I am immortal.

Forever

Everything around me is numb

Dull… Worthless

Everything ends before me; everything will end, before me

I exist because you exist

Until the soul forsakes the body

I stand watch…

Waiting…

Patient…

I bare no gifts but the wrath of my scythe

I will seize you

Weigh you...

Consume you…

Forget the tales of bribery or foolish attempts of trickery

Endeavors to retain that which you hold so dearly

The inevitable is inescapable.

Embrace my black tattered wings

Let the darkness of the abyss console you without a word

Make peace with your regrets

Misgivings and qualms

There was nothing for you there as you drift to the nothingness of here

A final destination if such should exist

Until you face your judgment

You are dead.

Lifeless

You have departed the world of the living.

I am your reckoning

The personification of death.
