Upon going to death

I return to find her waiting

My ring draped about her neck

Awaken to emptiness

I will love her forever

Though the forever I would choose is denied me

All too soon she will be dead and gone

And I will remain

Damned

I will remain

Perhaps she will light the next world

Because of her

I live in emotional death

There is no comfort for my soul

Demented, I wander

I am music in the darkness

I am gallows obsession

I am dead buried above ground

I am the foul

I am the parasite

I am the beautiful

I remain
