Memento Mori

I stopped screaming long enough to look around

And asked myself, "What if you're all alone?"

"I am." I replied.

The rage within me turned into twisted, tormented grief that tore and tortured and transformed me

I felt myself begin to mutate into a contemptible, pernicious creature

Destined to always be alone

Destined to never have love

Destined to destroy anything good

Doomed to attract all things bad

My hands, raised to the sky

Ran over my face

As a tear ran from my eye

I found that there was no escape

Nowhere to go

Nothing to become

And I sobbed and pounded the floor with my fists

Fated to live forever as I am

Until I die forever the same
