You guys who say its about Poe are neither right nor wrong. Alesana wrote the entire basis of the album in a storybook format. They had always wanted to do a true concept album and this was the product. When you buy the Cd, for those who actually still do that, it comes with two booklets, one containing lyrics, the other contains the story titled The Emptiness. The story itself is not about Poe's "Annabel Lee," more like the way Alesana themselves would have done it.
this is true, but shawn milke and dennis lee have said that they were influenced by Edgar and some other famous poets. It is noted clearly in their lyrics.

@Despize yeah, they actually did say they read it, and if you listen to the last album (in 2015 i mean) you will see that it is influenced by Edgar Allen Poe's poem, majorly. even noting, "The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end", which means closely resembles what happened with Edgar Allen Poe's album. he usually wrote what influenced, are started his poems, with this one, he died before he could. The way he died has not actually, to this day, been properly noted. Which means it could have been any form of death....
