Dark-Light
Another comforting nightmare
My oldest and dearest friend
Into the dark abyss, I solemnly stare
Ushering in the end
Adorned with expressions of woebegone
Unshackle me from this prison of skin
No longer shall I dwell here alone
A demon enticed me to let him in
Darkness stares through the mirror portal
That reflection is suddenly no longer me
Those eyes belong to a being immortal
From a world most people cannot see
The diabolical entered like a deadly poison
Consuming the remnants of my fractured soul
No escape beyond the event horizon
Swallowed down an eternal black hole
Only fragments remain of what I was before
The sky bleeds hellfire upon this otherworldly path
Trailing embers as I exit the blazing door
To revel in the aftermath
