Abandoned by my father, giving me abandonment issues. My family deserting me, giving me no need for social interaction. My sister dying at a young age, robbing me of a chance to be a big brother. My brother having Autism, making it more difficult on my family. Always moving around, never allowing me to make friends. Abused my my mother's ex boyfriend, scarring my view on humanity. My first ex breaking my heart, leaving me with the pieces to fix. My second ex cheating on me, giving me trust issues. My parent's marriage falling apart because of me, giving me an insatiable guilt. Yeah, I'm a cynical person. This is why, and this is how I cope before I commit the final act.

"The Raven" tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". Cover by @Lujayna

"The Bells" is a heavily onomatopoeic poem by Edgar Allan Poe which was not published until after his death in 1849. It is perhaps best known for the diacopic use of the word "bells." The poem has four parts to it; each part becomes darker and darker as the poem progresses from "the jingling and the tinkling" of the bells in part 1 to the "moaning and the groaning" of the bells in part 4.
