FawnPrincess in Poetry & Free Verse

Aphotic

You see, 

there are demons that enter my mind

They fill me with dreaded thought 

All the time

They light my dreams on fire

And drown me with false hope and desire

They sneak silently through their world and ours

To torment us for the hours

The ghastly things drip with dread 

That they pour into our head

They stench with hatred and sorrow

Trust me darling it won't get better tomorrow

Horrifying creatures with mouths that bleed

Inside your darkest nightmares they'll plant their seed

And it will grow

inside your gastric pits it will blow

and sink into the depths of your system

and then you shall become their victim

falling prey to the virus that stretches out your mouth

slowly sinking its teeth in your chest; headed south

straight to your heart 

this devil will start

bleeding inside and out

til it kills this drought

The wind growls at your soul

begging you to come home and toll

til the night is upon your head

twisting through your spine the dread

you thought you left long ago

you're begging it just to go

Now these ghastly ghouls 

slither with slime

and maybe that is a sign

that this is the last time

so take a breath and 

line

up these monsters will

steal your soul on sight

hush now be quiet hush now be still

no longer will your light be bright

This is the end 

I am your only friend

whispers the one with the devilish grin

begging you to let him sin

grabbing the blade he controls your mind

and he controls the time

the closer he comes

the more you go numb

your essence draining out

you have time left but you feel this is your only route

before you disappear 

begging you hear 

but late it is

too late it is 

for you to go back

their empathy they had to lack

but you're never coming back
