drinking
from the darkness
numbing to the brain
eating into the depths
tearing to the flesh within

a monster creeps
black heart to hell
turning the stones over
in the graveyard
of life

a rotten apple
to the very core
bestowing misery
with all its grief
decaying feelings

in screams
i plead mercy
you played
me the demons
dragged along
in your foolish game


casting a spell
of darkness
ore me
showing hell
in all its fire

in the burning remains
i reach for the torch
in the softest
of moonlight

shines
a white blanket
finding comfort
knowing

you no longer
posses
this auld
heart o mine
