That's all I could remember, Darkness. From the moment I'd open my eyes in the morning, till the one when I closed my eyes at night I have always been surrounded by a shroud of darkness who refused to leave me since that day.
You might be wondering what I mean by that day, don't you worry for it'll be included with every gruesome detail.
It started 5 or 6 years ago if memory serves me right when I sat in front of the first girl I gave my heart to and she looked me in the eyes and broke up with me. The reason? I remember asking her and this is what she replied "It just seems like you don't love me anymore". I laugh at that today for she was the thing I only had in mind for the 3 months we were together. But of course that reason wasn't the real one. She had her eyes on another guy. But I did notice the signs a few days before the brake up.
"His eyes are so pretty" she said while lustfully looking at my worst nemesis. But yeah, not one day had passed by and she already was with that guy. A person I remember calling a friend once.
After that day, I felt weak and unprotected. That's when a voice whispered to me. " I can protect you" I looked to all the directions I could think off., finding not a single body to voice such a tempting whisper. As I was turning away to go back on my way the same dark, cold voice whispered into my ear " I will protect you" . I looked behind me as fast as my body could react to my mind's wish. I was shocked when I noticed that my shadows was growing larger and larger by the second I stared into it. And then it started shaping itself to none other than me. I asked with a trembling voice " W-Who are you?". The odd creature known as my shadow, emanated a cold which I never had felt before, I think nothing could've stopped my shivering that moment. It answered to my question nonetheless.
"I am the darkness in your heart, the sadness and the hate. I am you, in a raw state. " I was paralyzed t such a sight. But it din't stop talking as if he was looking for something. "I can feel the pain you are feeling in your chest. Feels like someone stabbed you and stole your heart away, is it not? I can make it all go away. You just have to say the word and you'll never have to hurt again".
A spike of pain punctured through my chest as if I was stabbed for a brief moment. I fell on one knee and closed my eyes in pain, but as I opened them back, the beast known as my Darkness was not there.
Did I imagine the whole thing? Or was the beast really the darkness in my heart? I walked home not long after that, always looking behind me, waiting for another whisper, but nothing spoke to me on the way back.
That night, I could not sleep. Thoughts of what the two of them could be doing brought tears to my eyes and pain to my heart. I curled into a ball and whispered to myself "Save me...". I found myself asleep not long after those 2 accursed words left my mouth.
The following day I woke up to an odd sight. It was as if the night never ended. All I could see was pure Darkness..
