Holding Back Tears

The story of love that was never supposed to unfold
Is the saddest story to ever behold
For Death was never suppose to love
But their was an angel above
Her angel lips was a sight Death desired
But would never acquire
She was so beautiful that the sky lit up around her
Deaths day would go by in a blur
Soon Deaths job was forgotten
Which left no one to rotten
Death would wait forever just to be with his angel
Though the love would be fatal
After no one died for a year the angel confronted Death
Death had to take a large breath
Then he told the angel about how he loved her
She told him that the love would never exist and to forget them together
Saddened Death began to murder
All the innocent which lead to him becoming a monster
The angel he loved was the only one who could save him
Which lead to the angel to sit on a broken limb
Now Death was left without a head
The angel was kicked out of Heaven and left on a deathbed
And when she was close to dying she could hear Death cry
Which she could only say goodbye
And as she took one final breath
Death realized he was the one to cause her death
So he said goodbye to the world and he could only decide
To commit the worse crime that was suicide
