The Darkness
It swallows you up
Eats at your heart
Drinks from your blood
And spits out your bones
It sweeps through you
As if you were a ghost
Nothing more than a shadow
Nothing can stop it
There is no magik word
To make it go away
The earth is where it plays
There is no where safe from it
Not even in the brightest of rooms
Where the light touches
Almost every corner
But it is still there
Waiting
Lurking
Anticipating
Knowing
Eventually the light will fade
Then it will creep back in
take over what it once held
and you will cower in
The Darkness!
