Description Candles burn, casting haunted shadows on the bare walls of my tomb. Though, I can find no comfort in the silence or solitude of my existence. I walk with demons weighing on my frozen heart - with only dismal memories of life and hope to rescue me from falling away all at once. In the darkness of the soul, I prey on the heavenly essence of those who have yet to live a single life-time. Shrouded by Death's restless wave of vile torment, I seek a path that may lead me to salvation. Never a celestial being, but a fallen prince damned to burn in the guilt of a blasphemous eternity. Forever condemned to wander in the night, and to drink in the emptiness of the dark. Forbidden to gaze again on Apollo's Decent. The only sunset's I may witness dwell in the decaying mirrors of my victims eyes. Blood remains a gift from the Devil - something of an unjust familiarity. A sanguinary resurrection of a beast too wild to tame, too jaded to care. Nevertheless, I accept this unholy chalice, shake his scalding hand, and drink to my fate. Then, perhaps, one day, when Hell is cold and Death is forgiving, I may live again.

I would say "very nice" but I'm not sure, if that was appropriate... very dark, that's for sure

I have to agree with AlecWolfe. This is more flash than poetry. I think it has to do with the structure more than the lines themselves.
You should try to arrange them in stanzas, see how thinga turn out then.
You have some nice imagery throughout this piece. I especially like the last line. It seems accepting but with a faint glimmer of hope that you will gain salvation.

'...to[*o] jaded to care.'

This is very nice and incredibly melancholy. I love the imagery in this. The only thing I would say is that it is more a work of flash than poetry. Great work.

"I can find no comfort in the silence or solitude of my existence. I walk with demons weighing on my frozen heart - with only dismal memories of life and hope to rescue me from falling away all at once."--My favorite line. Very beautiful. You're such a wonderful writer.
