Darkness Within

Far away from the pain and hate Having descended into the Darkness within You wake alone within a room No doors No windows- Hidden from the world. Balling up your fist Banging upon the bare walls Crying out for answers Till your throat left hoarse Fall onto the cold lifeless floor You notice a shadow glide across the room Out of the silhouette he rises Surrounded by the nightmares of your past Gaze up into his eyes Your sight falls upon that which frightens and bewilders you, For they seem… a blood red, As though Hell itself encompassed them. You are left captivated- As you are standing up, he reaches out to you, Grazing his shady hand upon your cheek. Every single emotion that was deprived to you- Unexpectedly awake from that minute touch. Afraid of indulging into the final transgression- You back away from his touch. Wraithlike, he moves behind you. Shivers run down your spine As he brings his lips to your ear. A lone tear runs down your cheek, As he tells you what you have always known. You sag into his embrace, Allowing the warmth that he ignited pierce into you Flowing through every vein and into your very being… Searching for what you have given up Grabbing at your chest You feel it within. Finding what it searched for, Your most cherished possessions- Your soul. He takes it into himself No more Pain or Hate Now is the time to move forward The moment of enlightenment has been reached Images of your life flash in your mind Then turn into a hazy gray fog Closing your eyes allowing the darkness envelops you Hearing his faint voice say one word: SLEEP
