The Darkness Seven

The shiny blade calls out to me It’s been so long I’d almost forgotten you see It’s thin body so small and sharp Begging for a taste of a body part The chaos inside my head tonight Brings back memories of fight or flight I chose flight most times to keep the chaos at bay So that maybe I’ll live to fight possibly another day The memories bring with them a familiar scent One for those with twisted minds seems heaven sent Then the visual becomes clear As beads of red upon pale skin appear You think with each slice that will be the last But chaos fools you bringing more horrible memories from the past You slice and slice til the pain gains the lead The monstrous chaos finally forced to concede The thoughts stop racing The heart at its normal pacings The body calms breathing deep and steady Reminding itself to be ever ready.
