beautiful soul trapped in a distant glass
unable to escape the torment of black smoke
poured into your casing
and with every breath you become a little tainted
your light ripped from the wick
dripping hot wax
pungent with the darkness
its tar filled mouth opens
widely
for a warped smile
darker than the night
this is the one who swallowed the night
as if it were a tease
to its ever growing hunger
fear consumes
and allows it to seep through your skin
caressing your soul
tugging at the strings surrounding you
all you can do to ebb away the pain
is close your eyes
silent
and beg for release
but it gets more painful
the more you resist
but you've seen her
the one who sits beside him
how cold and ruthless she appears
he took from her
purity
feeling
life
you refuse to ease the pain
instead you gouge a knife into your thigh
to awaken a new pain
and darkness
intent on your possession
tightens
you choke
but you continue to concentrate on the pain
