I Walk Alone - 1 Year Remake

Here as I wander Down the empty path of life I desire all that I can not have I desire nothing at all Here as I wander I peer into houses I pass You are all by the fireplace Warmed by the comfort of those you love Here as I wander Down empty streets I am bitten by the cold of night I walk alone, a graveyard off in the distance The raven circles A full moon exposed between the clouded mists I am enticed by the eerily silence of death I now walk with vigor, I see where I belong I kiss the earth of my new home Now I may finally repose Torments freed, savor the black rose I lie upon the cold slab I rest in peace

Stone cold write, empty as a tomb thats been forgotten about, a life not remembered. I can picture a grave with a small marker just a simple name and date, covered in fall leaves, well done. I liked it for it's coldness, bravo. also thank you for your comments on my work.

This is really good, but I don't think you are ready to go yet. It is not your time. Smile and say to yourself - life is good. Don't walk alone..... Lucilla
