Dead Heroes and My Silent Romeo

All of my heroes are dead.
They died screaming in my head
as I lay in the darkness
grasping the cold emptiness.

All of my heroes are dead.
Their ghosts dance about my bed
as I watch my sanity
slipping away from me.

All of my heroes are dead.
They rake their cold hands thru my soul
as I claw to hold my silent Romeo
begging him to hold my dyeing pieces, not to go.

"There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul..."
a-alibaster

"I am as I am, nothing more, nothing less,
I am tears of pain, tears of Death.

Ahh, my friend, you paint a vivid picture of hopelessness. I love your work.

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

Sorry, I just couldn't help but think about this quote as I read this piece.

"When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so bright
that all the world will be in love with night."
[Shakespeare,R & J,III,ii]
Great emotional writing, Ali.
Thanks.
