Darkness

Across the floor it slithers Black tendrils creeping in Searching for the beings That revel in their sin It spreads across the floorboards Engulfs the carpets too Gets in every single corner Then makes its way to you It gathers round the bed legs Then slowly slimes it way Feeding on your misdemeanours As in your bed you lay Then in a rush it heads for skin Sinks into every pore As it sets your skin on fire Makes your muscles sore Your heart begins to race As it thickens up your blood Pushing through your veins Like lava through a flood You won't know its happening Until you feel your throat restrict Then it leaves you in no doubt That its your sins that it picked Then finally it comes to rest In the place your sins all start It pierces its way through Just like a poison dart And when the darkness gets there To the centre of your brain It turns your sins against you You join the army of insane
