Darkness has always followed me Entranced by my every step It curls its lips And cackles a little As the flames of my existence begin to burn I plead       I beg             I cry Please just lead me to the light! But still I'm warmed by its embrace The breath of it's shadow leaving scars behind And then one day I found a bit of courage And with my shoulders square From my soul erupted Darkness why do you love me so?!                    Why do you haunt my thoughts Why do you lurk in the crevices of my mind                   Why do you dig your claws within me Why won't you let me be free And it shook its head With a hint of sorrow And solemnly replied *My dear, don't you see? I am found inside of you*
