Darkness Within
Far away from the pain and hate
Having descended into the Darkness within
You wake alone within a room
No doors No windows-
Hidden from the world.
Balling up your fist
Banging upon the bare walls
Crying out for answers
Till your throat left hoarse
Fall onto the cold lifeless floor
You notice a shadow glide across the room
Out of the silhouette he rises
Surrounded by the nightmares of your past
Gaze up into his eyes
Your sight falls upon that which frightens and bewilders you,
For they seem… a blood red,
As though Hell itself encompassed them.
You are left captivated-
As you are standing up, he reaches out to you,
Grazing his shady hand upon your cheek.
Every single emotion that was deprived to you-
Unexpectedly awake from that minute touch.
Afraid of indulging into the final transgression-
You back away from his touch.
Wraithlike, he moves behind you.
Shivers run down your spine
As he brings his lips to your ear.
A lone tear runs down your cheek,
As he tells you what you have always known.
You sag into his embrace,
Allowing the warmth that he ignited pierce into you
Flowing through every vein and into your very being…
Searching for what you have given up
Grabbing at your chest
You feel it within.
Finding what it searched for,
Your most cherished possessions-
Your soul.
He takes it into himself
No more Pain or Hate
Now is the time to move forward
The moment of enlightenment has been reached
Images of your life flash in your mind
Then turn into a hazy gray fog
Closing your eyes allowing the darkness envelops you
Hearing his faint voice say one word:
SLEEP
