On the ends of good and evil
Take my hand as I write
Whisper in my ears the secrets
As I open my eyes
You can see the emptiness from my soul
Shadows hovering over me
No longer I but for you
All of you
Selfless to the world
Hell envies him
Yet heavens tear don’t fall
Questioned from birth
Lost and afraid
What he knows best is what I was taught
To kill and salvage from others
As blood drips from his heart
He feels the water flowing from his face
Confused he reaches;
Heavens tears pour down his face
A grin in his face he smiles in his final moments
He mutters a few words
“De finibus bonorum et malorum”
Then fades away from this world
