Silently creeping
Through the darkness
Inching along
Stalking its prey
A Sinister smile
Falls gently into place
A jaded mind
With intent to destroy
Bitterness like a serpent
Injects its venom
The essence of death
All around.
The soul pleads
For freedom
As the heart
Sings its final melody
Lying on ground
Made of stone
The time has come
To bid the world farewell.
