Hymns of shapeless demons
drown out the virtuous voices
echoing within my hollowed mind
as the vague screams of penance
try to penetrate the thin walls
outlining my decadent demeanor

Through my ravenous endeavors
I have incited insidious contempt
my covetous nature bred a fantasy
where rapture is being expelled
and concealing itself far beneath
the shadows of my false expectations

Though still painfully apparent
the mirror reveals to me a ghost
my mind interprets not the image
as anything more or less than an
inescapable result of immorality
that has brought forth my own demise

While collecting my sullen thoughts
for what is the very last time
I breathe deep the darkness
as if guided by an invisible force
I behold the razor before me and
summon the courage to open the gates
of eternity to fulfill my dark destiny
with no indications of remorse

Having taken flight upon
the darkened wings of iniquity
I envision the hopelessness
through a portal tainted by hate
the one and only bond I share
with each victim I have encountered
now forms a puddle as shallow as
my regard for human life...
Death is all I can anticipate

Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky.

I'm gonna tell y' the same thing I told Tomer: Cool poem, but USE FEWER ADJECTIVES!

She said burn ... together.
