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

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.
