꧁༺ ༒ ༻꧂
Curses lingering in the air
As I scream to the Lord,
Oh Lord!
The divine threat of death
Has come and taken what it will!
Cracked lips, cracked to the soul
The deepest ache caresses
My empty heart
Oh Lord!
Take my hand and guide me!
But it is not the Lord
No, it is the reaper who has come
No! I'm not ready for the reaper!
Oh Lord!
Save me, save my soul!
I do not want eternal Damnation
I do not want to take his cold hand.
Oh Lord!
I take back my curses and my blame,
I take back my life!
The life I once renounced
I ask for amends and confess.
I confess my faith faltered!
Oh Lord!
Forgive me, and I will renew my devotion.
And there it sat... next to my bed
Thick with wisdom and verses to sooth,
To guide me back to righteousness.
Oh Lord!
Thank you for saving me!
A reminder of my weakest hour,
A reminder of what I lost,
A reminder of what I gained!
Oh Lord!
I am born again!
Oh Lord, my savior,
Thank you for not denying me
Oh Lord!
I will meet you again, one day,
But when the time is right.
Oh Lord!

Author's note- I wrote this on the spur of the moment after seeing the phrase "momento mori" which means "an object serving as a warning or reminder of death, such as a skull." This inspired me to write yet another poem about death with heavy religious themes. Please, any would be great. I wrote what came to mind with little revision or care, simply felt the words and went with it.

Let’s face it. You could only think of one of three things when you read the title.
1. “Oh, from ‘A Series of Unfortunate events!’”
2. “Oh, from ‘Dead by Daylight!’”
3. “I f*cking hate Latin!!”
Seems to sum up a few of the comments. Would be nice of people would actually think about my writing though.

I actually think that your writing is a rather better portrayal of the phrase than that of A Series of Unfortunate Events’. You honestly made it so that it meant so much more than “ you will die.”
I just noticed that it was in ASOUE and I commented c;

You have no idea how much I appreciate that. Thank you so much.
I have to it, it's a little disappointing when people comment about anything except my writing, especially when its fandom related stuff. Like using a k pop face claim and everyone commenting "OMG RAP MONSTER :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: " instead of appreciating the OC itself.
But thank you for saying that, I'm really glad you think so!
I'm extremely happy that you know Latin

I'm learning myself and it's a hard ass language

Especially the genre of music that I listen to uses Latin and I'm just sitting there like "what the fuck did you just say?"
*a series of unfortunate events intensifies* not gonna lie, good poem, great show, good work on getting featured

I never read those either. If I've read the books, I always hate the movies. But if I don't read the books, I have nothing to compare to and therefore like the movies because I don't know if they've got anything wrong or not :sweat_smile:

Some movies like The Fault in Our Stars and Wonder were just as good as the book, mainly because of the heartfelt nature of the stories instead of the action and thrill of others like Harry Potter.

I'll have to give them a try, yet more books I haven't read yet :sweat_smile:
A series of unfortunate events much :sweat_smile:

it is, also a book series written by a man who goes by the Lemony Snicket. i'd recommend it, it's a lovely story, though kind of unfortunate. a motto within the series is momento mori.

I read the books years ago when I was a kid, but I really don't much at all. I that it creeped me out though.

well, I suppose I like the tv show much better. maybe you might too. but it is a bit of an odd tale.
This reminds me of a few things :joy:
