King of Shadows

With a grasp colder than ice he reaches for your heart

going for the quickest means to tear you apart

a shadow formed by the fear of the unknown

A king on top of a hopeless throne

with no mercy and no hesitation

he reaches in and performs the unspeakable with no fear of retaliation

for this is the domain of shadows made of smoke

the king that sits by your bed and with a gentle stroke

of your head implants immediate feelings of dread

for these are the things he requires to be fed

with an insatiable hunger that requires constant feeding

and with no end until you stop breathing

the shadows will haunt your bed side unceasing

there is no where for you to hide

from this the rising tide

for when he has found where he will stay

there won't be anymore bright and happy days.
