a sabbath synopsis

i've fallen into your grave
and dusted off the tombstone written for you.
"a young life that never gave,
a young life that was never quite given to."
so reads the engravement,
its letters etched in fine gold,
and the stone itself is a monument
to your life shrouded in silver and cold.
the gravely bed in which i lie
has     ened my senses to this breath,
they throw it upon me to live and let die,
but i know that this is not my true deth.
take your headstone
and tie the dedweight around your throat,
throw youself all alone
off this cliff and drown your hopes.
write a synopsis of your end,
bind it in your leather lies and wooden words.
give limited editions to all your friends,
have the rumors spread quickly until all have heard.
as the coffin closes on me
and you sink to visit Davy Jones,
know that i will live and be free,
while by your fears and nightmares you'll be owned.

now im alone, but not lonely like before

With more care and attention given to spelling and grammatical errors, this one has potential to be one powerful poem.
