They have replaced my broken
And tattered heart with a dead
Man’s, so now I can live. But
What will become of my soul?
Tag: ways to die
Vent
Bitter catharsis
Leaves me drained, devoid,
Exhausted, reborn
Atonement
My shattered utopia
Can only be restored with
My self as burnt offering
Monotony
Every day is just like the
Last; desperation flashes
Through me; I swallow, again.
Acceleration
Waiting to hit rock bottom,
I continued to fall, through
Infinite space, faster still
Haven
Where can I be safe?
How can I escape?
When will you forgive?
Oath of Secrecy
I would not be a mage of
Any worth had I not burnt
Every tome before you came.
You may torture and kill me
But you will never learn the
Secrets of my mystic arts.
This Heavy Crown
Though I am a mighty king,
I am an illustrious
Prisoner of this mantle.
If my strength should fail, even
For a moment, I will be
Executed by next moon.
The Seal
Hesitating to open
The ancient reliquary,
I finally cracked the seal.
A mist of dust clouded my
Sight, and I gazed at a small
Mirror. My face contorted
Until, as my consciousness
Died, I recognized the smile
Of that blessed Saint Amun.
