Darker than the Darkest Night

Darker than the Darkest Night

Darker than the darkest night,
Kill me now to end this plight.
I cannot live with this pain,
Stretching on like some endless plain.
Thoughts of death crowd my head,
My blood leaves a trail clear as crumbs of bread.
I shall not live to see another day,
Oh God, I don't want to die this way!
Then I see him stalking towards me,
My vision blurs, I see three.
But not of him, he is clear.
As clear as day, not a smear.
His scythe I see shining dark,
Coming to claim me, make its mark.
The end, I think, it comes too soon,
Not even am I granted one last boon.
Away from Death I cannot crawl,
I feel so helpless, I feel so small.
I find myself bowing towards the ground,
I cannot make a single sound.
Death now has me in his claws,
My death toll sounds and a lone bird caws.
And down I fall, down, down, down,
Never again to see the sun's first crown.
Darker than the darkest night,
So has ended my cursed plight.
So has begun the one to last for eternity,
None can describe the depths of its severity.
In this hole despair rides like a swell,
In this hole they call Hell.
