Into the Dark

I can feel it within Gnawing away, eroding me From the inside out This poison they blast into My cells, is not Much better They are trying to isolate my Invader, kill it Before it kills Me Days pass In a drug-induced stupor, I Watch as my body turns Unfamiliar, alien Stuck in an iron grip My body fights, but my Strength is ebbing Praying won’t help me Now Blackness crowds the corners of My eyes There is no fight Left in me To the very end I refuse to surrender, but it Eventually Overpowers me I drift into oblivion Slowly fading Into the dark
