The Night That Is Me


I live according to my destiny
Something against which it is useless to fight.
So I must learn to accept unconditionally
This Hell in which I now live.

They say that hell is a realm of fire.
But they're wrong.  So very wrong.
It is a barren and desolate place.
Bitterly cold and chilling my soul.

So now in the frigidly cold night that is my life
There is but one inconsistency in the blackness.
As I gaze upon you, a distant star, I realize
That yours is a warmth which I shall never reach.
