“Amazing grace… how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me…
I once was lost, but now I am found,
Was blind, but now I can see…
Those who believe will be saved
But those who don’t will go straight to hell…
Oh, amazing grace…
How sweet the sound that he sang to us…” The darkness hummed,
As he crouched alone in the dark while
Waiting for Death to come and gouge out his eyes;
His sleep began to slowly crawl
While engraving its nails unto his back
Like if it were its prey, like if it were a crazy hound,
As it whispered “Sing a song, sing a song,
But this time, won’t you sing a lullaby?”
He didn’t give in to the words that slowly contaminated his heart,
And gave him such an immense pain by thinking
Of having no hopes, of having just about nothing at all
But the gloomy and creepy feeling of wanting to die,
Of wanting to become blind; stop seeing the dark;
Wanting Death to end the lonesome days,
To end the life of a creature-like soul.
He began to weep; he began to sing
The song that pitied a demon like him
“Amazing grace…how sweet the sound
That makes my ears go numb
From all the barren hope of getting out from the dark
But will a shadow be able to live in the light?”

Description:
It's a free verse poem. I got the idea from a doushinji/manga, and since I liked the quote so much I put it as the title. I pretty much worked around the quote, and this is the result.
It's one of my weird poems since I prefer to be the narrator who knows everything about the characters. =3 - Date: 03/19/2009

- I'm not sure, but I heard part of the first quote. I just added stuff to it because I wanted that to be the theme of the poem.
