Blackness In My Soul

I felt a blackness in my soul Goblins feverishly digging holes Relentless crumbling of my protection Seeping madness in all directions I felt a blackness in my soul Malignant growths and thoughts so foul To taint my reason and rationale With blood-red suggestions; so tempting to tell… Madness in that – to reveal what lurks at the bottom of the well I felt a blackness in my soul No longer restricted, free-flowing currents dark Consuming the white and freezing my heart Tendrils slithering about my brain Whispered promises to stop the pain I felt a blackness in my soul And then I let it take control No more to reason, I quit the fight And do its bidding in the night.
