Eternal sleep



He is the one that no one wants to touch
his presence is inhumane and though they try to run away he catches them just the same,
although I find him good and sweet the others disagree
as they try to find a way from his presence they will flee.
Black is the soul and it runs through his veins,
wicked is his smile as he whispers you away.
cold to touch is ice that runs through your vein
out in the dark cold night as death dances your life away.
