The chiseled entity

No longer human

No identity

For committing sin

Helpless, naked

Rid of skin

Standing upon

Towers of stone

The gargoyle ponders

So empty

And alone

Vacant city

He wanders

Flying high

Over the brash

Tones of grey and grain

Swatting bats

In the rain

Gnawing hunger and pain

Sadness overwhelms the beast

Tearing his ego apart

Crumbling down

Into dust

All that is left

Is rust

Reap

Days pass

Ashes drown in the rain

The dawn of night

An absence of light

Down dim

In the drain

Rats and critters

Feast on drops and drool

Dead remains

Blood and gore

Floating past

A ghoul

Once alive and well

Now at his last and final form

In the afterlife

Haunting vampires

Ready to fight

And swarm

The soul will perish

And our story is done

Flesh to stone

Stone to ash

Ash to air and gone

Reap
