Darkness

I lay on the floor of a hollow room I hear my heart beating And am disgusted With its sound I call upon the darkness Or perhaps it persuaded me Con-artist that it is It wraps me up Tightly Bound I wail and cry as the darkness uproots itself From the room Into my body The room drains white Blinding The darkness enters me ey es ea rs nose m o u t h I cough and choke on the ink It enters my lungs My faint breath B U R N S inside my chest It caresses Soothes my heart With L I E S Too late to know It's a cobra Wrapping tight around The darkness rips out from my chest Growing Expanding Like a tree of the night I scream Writhe A pool of ebony blood Curls around my weak body Spreads across the white floor Darkness Will Consume All
