Death Comes For the Dark Poet, By Byron Coetzee

Death Comes For The Dark Poet

I am that which lurks in the hearts of men
that shadowing darkness that breeds in men
I do not feel and thats my curse

To forever be trapped in gilded verse
you see I'm so much more than this
a sombre heart in a shadow verse

So i recall my darkened dreams
and find within my memories
I cant escape and thats the curse
to be forever bound to verse

So now i lay myself to sleep
and wish that death would come for me
to find the peace thats eluded me
i give myself up willingly

so come for me my darkened soul
and end this torment in my soul
so i will finally escape
and find my way to the realm of light.

A Poem By The Dark Poet
Tormented by guilt. Bound to my fate. I walk in shadows with no heart of my own. that is what it means to be alone. death for the reaper as he comes for my soul. I have nothing else to give. Except my life....
