Darkness within

[manofleags]

These words are of my pain,
misery consuming my veins,
it pours out of my flesh, and
collects and pools around my bed

Darkness has swallowed me whole, and
my fears have abandoned their homes
Within me they flourish and call,
for my end and my pain to grip and hold

In light, I find my soul,
Deep, deep there is some hope,
I know, this is and “know”, this I am told,
by those before me and those
in stories to be told

I search for it wherever I am,
It is lost but I know it can be found
I call but there is simply no sound

So I pray, as all do
I do, without a clue
My fears are true and true,
and as such I call a truce

I hear my heart, nay…
my soul, bleeding with guilt,
oh please change your wicked will
I submit to my urges and
numb the senses, to gain the ecstasy
of the wicked and senseless
