Reverend DarkHeart
How many times had you pulled me back
from the edges of reality
giving me strength
shielding my ears
from deaths haunting plea
You gave me laughter
trinkets of glee
reminders of how it felt
to be alive
to be free
Free of the demons
that frolick through my mind
Betraying
Enslaving
all hope that they could find
I fear you had given
all your strength to me
Your own demons crept up
And took you away from me
Why didn't you give me
that very same chance
to save you from yourself
to live life enhanced
At first i was angry
that you didnt take me with you
Stuck all alone
living without you
Revived determination
I now do feel
to Live for us both
to wipe away our tears
RIP Rev June/1999

I used to be a chat room junkie. Chatting actually helped me through a very lonely time. I started with AOL when I babysat for my brother and his wife. I was so taken with the internet that I went and bought a computer the next week. Then I found VP (Virtual Places-which was THE best), and then Excite. Rev was one of a group of web friends I "hung out" with. He touched me alot and I liked him. Probably more than I should have. Anyway, I heard that he killed himself and it made me feel lost. I left chat soon after. It just didn't seem the same. And my reaction to the suicide of someone I had never met or talked to on the phone was definitely unhealthy.
Anyway, I stole part of his name as a symbolic, catharsis type of thing. It fit in good with the chronic depression I have always suffered from and my poetry. It also represented the end of my unhealthy dependence on the Virtual World. I still hope deep down that he really didn't die and that it was a cruel hoax someone played on me. Either way RIP RDH
