Poe's Last Will and Testament

To all who write from within their soul

I leave to them my muse

A curse to me I couldn't console

A curse I couldn't refuse

 

To all of those who write of romance

I leave the spirit of my lovely Lenore

For maybe in death I'll get a chance

To be with her once more

 

To all of those who write by night

I leave the darkness, my captor of dreams

And all the demons that held me tight

The reason for all of my screams

 

To all of those who write of pain

I leave my broken heart

A lonely spirit that left its stain

And tore my world apart

 

And to all of those who write of death

By the light of an empty moon

I'll send the reaper to steal your breath

For you'll be with me soon
