Death and Love Become Me

As I exist in this world some call life,
My vision is blurred, jaded, enraged,
Nothing left, what should be is caged,

Years of giving passion, love, no return,
Open my heart and soul, disemboweled,

After the bloodletting, face etched, 'tis a-
hideous scowl, hearing she-wolves howl,

Always foretold, inside my wretched soul,
But heart never will listen, forever too bold,

Intoxicating thoughts of loving a woman,
Mind fading, decimated body can't perform,

Elixir of life, a companion from whom to breathe,
Shall enter my door, nevermore, I shall succumb,

Life's breath leaving me, feeling ghosts of love,
Taking all within me leaving an empty shell,

Tis not a bad thing you see, soon I will be free,
Without pain of love, endless slumber befitting me,

Now you see, death and love become me, forever.
