Darkness

The wrath of darkness
So silencing and still
Creaping upon victims steadily
Enticed in a pleasurable thrill
It hides like a serpent
Curled around your mind
And leaving a traceless trail
A culprit impossible to find

Traps placed in
All the wrong places,
A calligraphy of
Clever camoulflage,
Just waiting to hit
upon its prey.
Sinking its teeth in
So so deep,
One can never estimate
Just what actions it will reap.
A deadly poison
Streaming through
Its bright orange veins,
Blinding its victims
To their misery
And their pain.
but they're so blind,
They just can't see,
What state they're in,
Or how this disease is murdering them
From the outside-in.

Its vile roots grow
Penetrating into the soul
Pushing victims farther
Down that inescapable hole
Emerging from depths
From where shadows dwell
fleeting hope thin as smoke
No return from the depths of this hell
This darkness burns bright
In the hearts of the dead
Clutching and pulling the lost
To where no ligt can be shed

A black pit of misery
Is where it dwells,
creatingnew holes
For each victim that fell.
Buried they stay
Locked in theground,
Hurting no more
for a deceitful relief had been found.
Razors shing in the light,
Gleaming the crimson river
Runs so bright.
But it only takes one
More cut to bleed,
Far too far
So please take heed.
Relief in liquid rubies
Is a lying little thing,
For if you to the scars so bloody,
You surly will never be free.

Don't be led down the rabbit-hole
To a world of deceit and twisted words
If you listen to the shadow's longing sigh
Never again will your voice be heard.
