The Stranger


He walks along a lonely road
His sins now take their toll
Pain and sorrow in his bones
Death his only constant friend

He used to be human like you and me
but one bad choice to many made he
w a walking corps for all to see
Along his weary way

He is not dead
Yet not quite alive
Only by his sins
Does he survive
Causing trouble wherever he goes
Just to see how the blood flows

The Torment of others
The pain and the greif
These are the stuff upon which he feeds
Gaining energy
Gaining power
As he goes
Using the pain of others
To help him hold on

He has lived for hundreds of years
He once was a man of many trades
Doing odd jobs for everyone
Building houses
Fixing fences
Painting
Mowing yards
Just a few of his jobs

But he got corrupt
Started making shady deals with the wrong peoplr
Committing crimes
Being hated even by rhose who had once hired him

Now he pays
An eternity of aimless wandering
Feeding off souls
Feeding off the pain of others
Feeding off of sorrow and grief
These things are like honey to him
They are like chocolate
He hungers for more
He thirsts for it
For it is the only survival he has

He has no soul
He sold it for his corruptive power
He sold it for the fleeting joys of this world
This is why he feeds off of other people's souls

He finds a lonely soul
And pretends to be friends
All the while feasting off their bitterness and pain
Pretending to be friends
Going along
Nurturing their hurt and sadness
Nurturing their grief and pain
Nurturing the darkness and hate
And when the time is right
Upon their souls
He feeds

When the body of the victim is found
People say they took their own life
Suicide
But know
The stranger
The beast
Has fed
