Whispers in the Night

There's a tale 

I have to tell

Now I'm dead

To her

And in

The City of Dis

Living in Hell

A love

Which once bloomed

Like a white rose

In every given room

Is now my grave

Inscribed with golden 

Letters 

Mortal Man

You are doomed

To lay restless

In your tomb

Love will no longer visit 

And you are now marked

To always

Miss it

So although

I'm alone

Now rotting in my 

Version of Hell

I'm glad

I got a chance to tell

How love once got me

Under its spell

Then smiled

As I fell through the 

Endless depths and old

Portals

Of its Dystopian Hell

With my soul 

Crying

As I entered

The New Genesis

Of being Immortal
