I AM

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
