Memento Mori,
Whispered so soft,
No one could hear.
It rode on the wind,
Flowing through the trees,
Passing him by
And never reaching his ears.
Memento Mori,
Spoken so sweetly,
Like a caress,
As if spoken by a lover,
Telling him that she loved him so.
Memento Mori,
Screamed so loudly,
Like thunder, like lighting;
Like rage,
Released into the black night,
Filled with fury,
And filled with truth.
Memento Mori.
Remember, dear monster,
Remember…
Remember that you must die.
Memento Mori,
Sweet monster,
Cradled in filth.
Remember those words,
Memento Mori,
For they speak your fate.
Memento Mori.
Remember that you must die.
Remember.

Story Notes:
This poem came to me when I was listening to Flyleaf; one of their albums is titled 'Memento Mori', and when I looked it up and saw what the phrase meant, I wrote this little number. Hope you enjoy!
