The Demon's Trap

Can you see the light?
In the Darkness?
Through the haze?
In the fog?
NO!

Opn your eyes.
Just take a look.
Deep breaths
See it now?
NO!

Lost in your darkness
Creeping in slowly 
Swallowing you whole
Hearing shrieks of pain
NO!!!!

Too late.
Already taking hold of you.
Sinking-down,down,down
Swallowed whole
NO!!!

Lies and tricks
You beileved them
Looking and searching
Old life lost
NO NO NO! 

That is the Demon's trap!
