There are states worse than death

"THERE ARE STATES WORSE THAN DEATH" - George Wilhite



There are states worse than death
Hear me before you smugly reject
My assertion

Walking through a neglected cemetery
My fate was woven
Shadows converged
Creating the solicitor
Of my immortality

No Faustian bargains
When the shadows come for you
Life ends swiftly
And the torture begins
You wander the earth
Yourself only a shade
An echo, a husk
Of “once was”
