A sequel to my favorite poem Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe

So I have this dark and hardened soul
as black as -- misery
so don't be disheartened
for this illusion that's there to see.
Perhaps it is how it is
so twisted in its dark abyss
alone in its secluded chamber
sealed fate in loneliness.
Escape to be never surrendered
chained confined and dead
to never know love
or feelings there of
yet blessed with life instead.
So cold so cruel and heartless
to be teased by love abound
so much mistrust
to be burned by lust
knowing love cannot be found.
So he exist ad mist
this haunting
with such ravenous eternal delight
knowing their screams
are pleasant in dreams
with his soul as dark as the night ...

So sing thee songs of Annabel
down by the lonesome sea
that no Seraph can reap his wrath
nor steal your love from me.
Yes sing thee songs of Annabel
on the night these demons came
riding serpents on the wind
without a glimpse of shame.
So sing thee songs o' Annabel
as ravens pass the trees
calling writers die such violent deaths
yet find you here with me.
No longer in my solitude
no longer in mystery
for the one who loved and defined the love
in the heart you share with me.
So I sing to thee dear Annabel
far above the sounding sea
that our love was an astounding love
now forever we shall be.
No longer confined in darkness
shielded from the breath of light
just me here loving you
in your flowing gown of white
Now our sprits reside together
with love so strong and true
as two hearts never to part
I exist for only you !
