I am settling rather nicely in the darkness. Graveyard of shattered hopes and dreams. I get off on the shouts and screams, Of anguish and despair. I thrive on the sufferings of others and mine. Dine on the fears that lurk in the crevices of minds. Light blinds my eyes so I creep in the shadows Of my own ******* tombstone, Where salvation is unknown, But somehow, it feels familiar, like home. Demons of past passed me by every second. But a second is a lifetime long. Do I seek redemption? Do I want redemption? Shall I claw aimlessly at the false persona of hope? I know that my lifeline's gone. Walking amongst broken spirits, As I am them. Condemned. Barely alive. Am I? Alive? I suffocate myself so I know I still breathe. Press on the wounds that hurt so I know I still live. But I am settling perfectly in the darkness. Where fear cowers and the devil shudders.
