Desire Destroys Me
As the darkness captures you;
It leaves a path of despair,
A path that many will follow
Curiosity pulling them forward
Dragging them on, into the future, unknown
Further than they have ever gone.
Alone, scared, the only ones you trusted have left.
For they have been called upon;
Venturing forward without you.
Never looking back for you
Forgetting you.
The only thing left is to say goodbye.
Close your eyes for one last time,
Never to open them again.
The despair twisted to curiosity.
The curiosity directed at what is next;
What is beyond the red eyes of death?
