I AM
You stand before me
As a gateway to freedom
But I reject your ways
I can never be free
When you look at me
What do you see?
Beauty…Joy…Life?
Someone to share your soul with?
When I see myself
I see the dark truth
Evil…Sorrow…Death
Someone who will destroy your soul
You are the light
That I can never see
You are the warmth
That I can never feel
I am the darkness
That you can never see
I am the cold
That you can never feel
You are the bright summer's day
I am the dark winter's night
You are the laughter of an innocent child
I am the cry of a dying murderer
Tell me not you love me
Tell me not you need me
I cannot love you
I cannot be with you
Once I felt the warmth of your heart
Once I saw the light in your eyes
Once I heard a child's laughter
But the child now laughs no more
My soul has become cold
My heart without emotions
My eyes show only sorrow
But I have no tears to cry
I am the Darkness that claims the light
I am the Evil that lurks in the night
I am the Monster that stalks in the dark
I am the Shadow in the back of your mind
Fear me for I walk with Evil
Hate me for I reek of Destruction
For I am the Messenger of Death
I am Malice the Executioner
