Poe's Prayer

I pray my soul will soon find peace

But my prayers are never heard

This demon's grip will not release

A prayer that's so absurd

Forgiveness is a futile quest

I send my words in vain

My sins will never be confessed

This darkness shall remain

Who am I that God denies?

He knows my every need

He chooses not to hear my cries

He will not intercede

The shadows ever call my name

I'm destined to be lost

I trade my soul for hope of fame

Though death shall be the cost

The darkness somehow hides my voice

The light refuses to show

I pray but still I have no choice

There is no hope for Poe

I like the feel of this. I first pictured Edgar Allen Poe....but I wonder if this is not you feeling the darkened emotions that EAP was so famous for.
