Dark Ritual

Around, all around, 
the dark memories gather. 
My dread grows 
as the headsman's axe 
falls against my neck. 
It severs me, 
and darkly my blood drips 
to the cold, 
uncaring tombstones. 
In unholy terror 
I flail madly 
while the Reaper 
laughs cruelly. 
Now alone, my blood falls 
upon uncaring eyes 
  
This is your love.
