#In Darkness I Live, In Light I Suffer

When the orange sun descends beneath the horizon.

When the silvery stars approach.

I look up to my walls in a dark room.

Letting nobody in here encroach.

When the wolves howl their despair filled song.


When the owls open their broad knowing eyes.


That's the moment when the mistake I made, I realise.

When the Dark consumes me, shaping up a monster.

The Light is feeble in front of it.

The scaled feet of mine can't go on any longer.

I remember the friends we were, closely knit.

When the Dark finally lets go of my hand,

A sudden sadness takes over.

The Dark deeds I have performed,

Makes me wonder if I could stoop any lower.

When I open the copper knob to enter,

The cruel world of light.

My eyes begin to twitch and burn,

Because of the glow so bright.

I watch my monster hands withering away,

I look and there is no door, I realise i've been too late.

I look at all of my body which is wilting,

Which slowly disintegrates.
