False Promise
I am despair,
I consume all and release nothing from my grasp of steel,
I have slayed the greatest of men and fell the mightiest of beasts,
I am despair relentless and overbearing,
A thief of always,
The sun does not shine here and hope is not birthed,
I am despair,
I promise and destroy,
I end lives with the false promise of rest and peace.
