Darkness

Author: Katfight

As I close my eyes
The nightmare begins
I cannot hide the lies
I'm forced to confess my sins
Suddenly, the darkness is alive
I know he's coming to get me
On my fears he thrives
Free of his wrath I wish to be
They take me to the master
Yes, the mighty devil himself
He joins in the demons laughter
Wishing I could cry for help
My soul is no longer mine
It's something Satan stole
To give it up my only crime
My hearts as black as coal
His eyes blacker than the darkest night
A gaze sends shivers down the spine
A snap of his fingers, and takes my sight
Aware of my fears, renders me blind
Smooth, whispery voice fills the air
He conjures up my past
Memories buried I shudder to share
A familiar ache grows in the heart
I relive all the hurt and pain
Shame and pain wash over me
Long carried guilt making me insane
I am my own worst enemy
My sight is now mine again
Satan's grin spreads into a smile
A broken spirit that refuses to mend
I'm a feeble emotional pile
I awaken with a scream
Lying in my own bed
It was just a bad dream....
I still wish I was dead

I wrote this about 10yrs ago when I was in a very bad place emotionally. When you're down and out it's hard to think things will get better but theres always a light at the end of the tunnel. comfort
