This Afterlife

THIS AFTERLIFE

Into darkness, from the light
A sharp cold burns me from the fire
I am left to die inside myself
My sorrow is my only companion
Sadness flows like the unstopable river
And crimes I've committed act onto me
I have fallen victim to lust
And other things eat at me
Heaven cries no lovely song
I am in a hell that acts so white
With darkness blanketing me
I am lump, paler I than my ghost
Have not my pity on me
I fell to fall some more
This the vilest foe I know
My daemons haunt and stab
Find me lush and lavish
Decorated in worms so fattened
I am lovely decay from dead life
My epics seem so wrongful
This my end, my end, my end
I have found never a stop
Even dead I continue in pain
Life is hell and hell is life

- poet Darka
