Malevolence*
for so long stealthily hiding in shadow
today I became aware of your presence
I wish to understand you
but on the deepest level, I fear you
also though, I know I need you
with you here it means I am not alone
as I so long have thought
step forward
whisper my secrets into my mind
so that I may understand them
Mouthless, the others call you
yet still you are able to speak
you sought me out via a friend
tall, slender, clothed in black
many would seek to call you devil
yet you claim you are not such
I must accept reality is not what I perceive
let go of the fear I so desperately cling
and perhaps
you can lead me to what it is I seek
