The Crows

Solitude does seek some solace
Free from faithless fealty faces
 who fear fidelity and sooth.
 The fiends of night despise mice 
Who have big hearts in their bosom 
Which dead would rather devour,
For live flesh disgusts these heartless 
crows 
Who will never become your doves.

Death's wailing worms who 
decompose
 All but those who bleed 
blood and hearts, 
For the jackals shall see them killed, 
An off'ring to secret shadows.
