Shinigami I

I fell in love with a human
Though being merely a demon
It means that I must die

You're so charmingly young and pure
Those feelings I cannot endure
I hoped they would go by

They didn't. Now I am in pain
You are my happines and bane
My moonlight in the sky

A lone star shining in the night
In darkness one and only light
To save you I must try

Therefore, though utterly insane
My love for you always remains
This I will swear hereby

I hope that you find happiness
One last time your skin I caress
And utter my last cry

---

I saved you with the price of life
Instead of me you'll have to fight
Death loosens all the ties

The time has come for me to go
The wind my dust away will blow
My shinigami eyes

Will never see you smile again
Remaining lifespan you will gain
I leave you with a sigh
