I promise I don't want to hurt you,
I'll leave you alone I swear.
Please keep my secrets unspoken,
Because I only have this life to spare.
I've tried so hard o hide it,
And all the problems it gave.
If you learn something of me,
Take it to your grave.
I want to hide in the shadows,
Keeping away from most.
And the only way you'll find me,
Is by letters and post.
I'd trade a lifetime in reality,
Fro a fraction of a thought.
A slave to imagination,
When it's the only thing I've got.
I've slaughtered entire armies,
With a staff and a knife.
If you ever catch a glimpse of my dark side,
You'll see that I'm not all that nice.
Don't try and fix me,
I was born to destroy,
The lives of those around me,
For monsters I'm employed.

The night,
Nocturnal.
Is locked,
In your journal.
Nicknamed,
For your heart.
Where you keep the souls of those,
You ripped apart.
Shhh you say,
It'll be over soon.
Wait until the afternoon,
After the moon.
Before dawn,
When everyone's gone.
Shhh you say,
Stay quiet.
You don't want a riot.
You'll destroy all of them,
The same way you destroyed I.
You screamed in my face face,
I won't be defied.
It won't work,
I know I've tried.
As you silently suffocate,
The bodies you hide.
Shhh you say.

I tell the truth,
My lies are real.
They're as solid as,
Titanium steel.
You can trust me,
With all your secrets.
From shallow,
To the deepest.
No, I promise,
I've changed.
Everything's already arranged.
People were talking,
That's weird.
None of your secrets,
Have I shared.
No,
Please,
Don't leave.
You can
Trust me.
