Darkness

Darkness grows inside of me, 
my mortal soul stained black,
So many years I believed in you 
then you stabbed me in the back.

You broke your promise 
and abused my trust, 
Set me a light
Till I was but dust.

My light has gone 
the darkness in control,
I have been reborn 
to destroy your soul.

To make you suffer 
and destroy your life, 
Straight from my back
I’ll use the same knife.

As the darkness takes over 
and sets in like tar 
You can try running
but you won’t get that far.
