Analysis of After Death
There will be spring, summer, fall and
winter when I am gone.
There will be movies and songs (with one
less person to watch and sing them)
There will be love and laughter; I do not
hold the world's happiness or even half or
even a little; There will be tears and
sorrow. May you never succumb like me.
I have fallen so very deeply; I look up with
nothing but stars in sight. Even hell is
better than this emptiness and this
nightmarish place. I have lost everything
but the sense of despair. Do not cry I am
happy now my witch has brought my poisoned
apple; hold me now I am fading into a
forever young Aurora. You will not break
the spell, young prince/hero. My life is my
own. I will walk hand in hand with Satan,
Edgar Allen Poe and Christina Rossetti.
