An Immortal's Tale
I am an immortal,
Passing through eons, be wary,
To the heart of a mortal,
Here’s my story.
I have no reason to fear,
As my enemy, death is not,
Reaper’s scythe doesn’t come near,
So time I have a lot.
But as I escape death’s grip,
My dearests are all but dead,
As they take their afterlife trip,
I mourn their loss and dread.
Many centuries pass by me,
Many a battles I saw,
Kingdoms fell as it may be,
Knowledge I have, as raw.
Even though I saw it all,
No real friends I got,
No one to come for my call,
Living my life, in a pot.
My knowledge is as pure as it gets,
Past of the world I know,
Do not keep any bets,
It’ll be a huge blow.
As my mind is full,
A lot I can’t forget,
Being drawn to the light’s pull,
But I have a lot to see yet.
So a mortal, this is my tale,
As much as I can tell,
And my life is still as pale,
Though I bailed, heaven and hell.
