Dying Flame
by Nicholas Klacsanzky
I shall banish you beyond
The dark depths
Oh seed of malevolence
Like a gallant knight
That rides on righteousness
Carrying only a surge
Of relentless holy zeal
I will no longer tolerate the torment
By your demonic grasp
That has torn my purity
Leaving only miniscule memories
Shimmering in a faint radiance
Of cold perception
Your destiny
Of inevitable eternal death
Is drawing near
Like a dying flame
Flickering in desperation
Awaiting its cursed darkness
