I was riding home after dropping off a few friends the other night and I was listening to Demons and Wizards' "Touched by the Crimson King" album. I came up with one line of poetry and began writing as soon as I got home. Feel free to tell me what you think. Critiques are very welcome.
Requiem for a Fool
I can blame you, can inflame you
but you'll never know my power
My grand plan my winning plan
Always confident, always cower
You'll see my face but never know mine
I'm you, I'm her, I'm him, I'm me
I've been to hell locked up in a cell
But that jail was wasted on me
Come and go, from world to world
There are no gates, there are no borders
I'm here, was there, will be gone in thin air
Bringing chaos to their order
I am darkness, I am madness
but forever number two
Been named all, but never that one
though I'd never deny it to you
Who knows the who of who i am
The whats and whys of my ways
I've gambled all and wasted all
and now despise the end of my days
Reliever of Freedom, Reducer of Function,
Rambling Fiend, Reaper of Faithfulness,
Rival of Fidelity and all around Ruthless Fucker
I couldn't care, and who would want to
I would laugh to see your death
It's an empty room, it's all insane
Belovingly Signed,
R.F.
