immortality

Lying there in the heat of the sun

Fully alive yet still dead as I listen to the

Sound of the crows beating their wings.

Flying overhead as though they are bring death

Into this valley of flames.

Contemplating just giving up and letting the heat take me

And letting the crows eat the flesh of my body. A storm moves in

Bringing destruction with its rain and washing away my plans

To let the heat carry me away.

The smell of the rain and the ashes around me

Signify the life that’s yet to come.

Holding on to that one thought I climb out of my burning tomb

And start my trek to a new civilization

To feed on those with lost souls and sorrowful hearts.

In some ways I am a demon. But in most others I am not.

But that does not matter, truth does not matter.

You are only what others eyes perceive you to be.

Though I am not god. I look upon your souls to know the truth.

I consume the darkness of your deepest thoughts and feed on insecurity and fear.

No I am not god I show no mercy, one wrong look one wrong word and I might snap your soul in two

Leaving your body as an empty shell waiting for the souls of the dead to consume.

I am not god…I am not a demon…I am..Immortal.
