Dark Misery

Dark misery
how you wrap my heart 
like a black cat around the leg

waking world thrust back into dream
vaccume un-escapable
i fall backwards
into your dark embace

slowly i sink , deep into your blackness
i feel the air course through my fingers
air rushing around my ears
as i decsend into this mist of tears

burn down my face
lacerations in thier wake
tears like blades
tears of dispair

i reach for the sun
now a tiny point of light
i see it's folly
in this black night 

i look up and there you are
eyes hollow as death
you are made of a billion stars
glistening upon your midnight coat
