This is a poem that I wrote back in 1991.

I sit alone in my world

Thinking about my truest love

That I once had left behind for my past

And knowing there was no return from this choice I had made

I am the Man in Black, The Angel of Death

To take another soul from the world

And to destroy a world, and its society

That was created around love, peace and harmony

I belong to an unknown master now

That has never revealed his identity to me

And has all the deepest and darkest secrets that one could never have

Of the ones that have hurt him through his existence

I am the Messenger of Death

That only brings sorrow to all who challenge me

I only do what my master bids me to do

And the desires which suit him most

I am to weak to stop my masters rage

And afraid of dishonor, to disrespect the life he has given to me

He has always given me so much

And only has to take away so little

I know my master has plans for me

I am his most loyal and respected student

And have always taken his teachings to my advantage

But I will never dishonor him by leaving his school

I must return to my world each night

In which I have created  behind his back

To hide from his rage, his disappointment

Only to regain a power deep inside my heart

My spirits are set high, beyond the heavens themselves

Am I surely to be set free once again

Knowing my protector, my powerful master

Will one day set me free into society

My master has promised me my freedom

But will he miss me when I have gone

He taught me everything, spent all the time with me

As I know now returning to society, that I was his most loyal and respected student
