Till Death do us Meet

Words and phrases taken from The Book Thief

You are going to die.

At some point in time,

I will be standing over you

your soul in my arms

I will carry you gently away

a color perched on my shoulder. 

The question is

what color will everything be 

when I come for you

I try to enjoy every color I see

a billion or so flavors

personally I like a chocolate-colored sky

I vacation in increments

in colors

why do I need a distraction

the survivors

they're the ones I can't stand to look at

I am Death

but now and then,

I witness the ones who are left behind.
