Death is not my name

Time ticking
Changing, ageing and slowly but surely...
not existing

Stars aligned
Creating, activating and slowly but surely...
dimming the light

Emotions manifesting
Hiding, combining and slowly but surely...
controlling my mind

Friends dying
Turning, fading and slowly but surely...
leaving only emptiness behind

The color white
Shading, making and slowly but surely...
revealing black inside

Mirrors forgetting who I'm
Clearing, reflecting and slowly but surely...
showing nothing on sight

Leaves falling
Clashing, breaking and slowly but surely...
turning to ash when they hit the ground

Rivers drying up
Evaporating, draining and slowly but surely...
disappearing as I walk by

The world once so familiar
Hating, blaming and slowly but surely...
casting me out like I'm a stranger 

They call me many names...
The devil, the plague, a tragedy,...
slowly but surely... death is what they'll believe is me
