Sweetest Prey

Inside...hurt, destruction, sadness

madening

your soul quickly...

darkens.

       Swallowed into a black abyss of...

ALONE!

Gone

forever...never to be found again

      Lost forever in a a endless

sea of

CONFUSION???

Which way to go?

Stumbling...

falling...

tripping...

in Blackness!!!

Lost with no sense of

    DIRECTION

A compass of deceit and emptiness....

Lost on a broken road.

Falling down

you try to lift yourself up...

   Just brush it off...shake it away...

If only it was

THAT EASY!

But no one knows the personal

wild

raging

uncontrollable

storm...you battle everyday...

   Death...

Stalking and creeping

A manic smile

looking upon another desperate soul

tortured

ALONE

and lost...

Needing more

   but not able to push through

   Your personal demons

taunting

teasing

tricking

....do you let them win...

  so easy is the

TEMPTATION...

the trap that ends it all...

sweet nothingness...

A hooded reaper claiming the sweetest prey...

the kind that falls so quick so swiftly...

without a putting up the slightest

                                                                                     FIGHT!!!
