Darkness

Darkness rages

Through the night

Sweat glistens across my brow

As horrendous images flit through my mind

Every night

He brings me fear

He brings me pain

Until tears streak down my cheeks in the dark

Alone

Alone in the dark

He digs his knife deep under my skin

And slowly carves my heart out

I let him

How could I stop his darkness?

I let him

Tear me to pieces

And when he's done

After he's filled me with darkness

The pictures in my head

Stop torturing my soul

He wraps his arms

Around my waist

And pulls me closer

To him

I smile at him

And kiss him softly

And I walk by his side

As he poisons minds

And haunts others in their dreams

And makes me fall in mine
