Phantom Poet
Is there a phantom poet
Lurking deep inside your pain
Feeding on decadence
In the recesses of your brain
Darkest hours
Darkest cries
A new pain
A new disguise
Is there a phantom poet
Lingering in your hate
Hollowing your heart
Lost to a lover's fate
Darkest hours
Darkest cries
A new hate
A new disguise
Is there a phantom poet
Festering in your ear
Sowing the sadistic seeds
Of your malignant fear
Darkest hours
Darkest cries
A new fear
A new disguise
Is there a phantom poet
Beguiling your muse
Whispering in anonymity
About a writer's ruse
Darkest hours
Darkest cries
A new name
A new disguise
Is there a phantom poet
Impaled by your pen
Bleeding onto your paper
Time and again
