I am the darkness
in your soul
I catch the light
and deflect its warmth from your skin
I turn the notes
which flow into a tangled mess of discord
I am your nightmare
waiting for the perfect moment to rip you from your carefully crafted dreams
spinning your peace
into a void of dwindling madness
each time it’s
harder to rise to the surface
each time shortens
your breath
weakens your limbs
systematically
wears you down with
the weight of your fears and guilt
forces your ego to
the forefront
poisons the
steadfast
de-rails you from
your chosen path
blinding you from
the truth of who you’re becoming
when only darkness
rules your soul.
I know that person. He used to visit far more often . After reading this, I feel him behind me, waiting for his moment. Not now though, everything is ok.
