The Raven

Though nigh is the night,

The raven sits his perch.

Waiting for the deadened man to stumble.

Waiting, for his chance to feast.

He eats the rotting corpse,

Eating the child that once was.

Eating the flesh, the blood,

The broken heart.

For nigh is the shadow,

For nigh is the night.

Moon so bright in the deadened night,

The shadows seek the cover of day.

Waiting, waiting.

Perched back on it's deadened branch.

The raven sits and waits, waiting for more.

Forever waiting.

Nevermore.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i kinda got the raven thing and the nevermore thing and more of this style of writing thanks to a man of long dead age. Edgar Allen Poe. which might be why some of you who are more into the darker stuff find it familiar in some ways but not all. that is why.
