The Darkness eats at my entirety
The darkness bears something cold
As fear floods through my veins
I feel it coursing inside of me
Something is waiting in the shadows to eat me whole
It watches as I submerge myself in self pity
It hungers to fill the emptiness in my soul
Is it a friend or is it a foe
The thoughts in my head have captured its attention
How does it know?
I can hear it breathing in the shadows
A whisper in the wind enters my head
It burrows into my hollow chest
I'm full of inevitable regret
I long to feel something tangible, yet
I have no energy to cling to bitterness nor resentment
That is all the beast can offer me
My soul is shattered pieces for anyone to claim
Only he holds the monopoly.
