Imagine you're on fire,
And it's ever since you can remember,
And flames get ever higher,
Yet will never turn to ember,

Forever screaming for release,
But the inferno never dies throughout your cries,
Always increases never ceases,
It drys your eyes although you try,

Now imagine you found hope,
Something to take away the torcher,
So just one second you can cope,
As the scorched is tamed by water,

Like it's the first time you've felt rain,
And never felt so free before,
But soon all pains regained,
You need it again, but it takes more and more,

But always knowing when the feeling goes,
And your curse comes to return,
That the hurt you show forever grows,
And even worse will it still burn,

But now it's not just about the flames,
As the smoke takes away your breath,
And all the rain in the world can't douse the pain,
As now you slowly choke to death.

Like a mist on an either lake
I haunt you through the day
You twist from a dreary ache
As I taunt you from the shade

Anxious in your chest
A whisper in the distance
I crank up your unrest
As I linger in your existence

I’m the chill that’s in your bones
When you sit at home at night
That uneasy feeling your not alone
As I watch whilst out of sight

I lie in wait for you to sleep
Til’ when your least aware
Then it’s time for me to creep
As I creek upon each stair

My shadow drifts across the wall
A silhouette that claws the air
Distorted as it hits the hall
A freak that lifts your hair

Unconscious you don’t know this
What leaking through your door
I push it open, you won’t notice
As I sneak my way towards

I leer at your bedside
You shiver as it turns cold
Fear runs through your mind
Like an icy river through your soul

I scratch the dreams from your head
To revel in your nightmare
I latch onto the streams of all your dread
As I bathe in them whilst I stare

I stay until the light breaks
But in the shadows I do remain
I wait in lay for night to take
When I can Creek my way to you again.

I spiral down a slippery *****
Entwined as I descend
I’m drowning in a kaleidoscope
As My mind begins to blend

Swallowed as Im consumed
As I sync into the abyss
Left as hollow as a vacuum
Neither extinct yet nor exist

Falling down this  internal funnel
All life is drained from inside
Like crawling down an eternal tunnel
But no sight remains to guide

Condemned, I see a rope
I hold it tight but it’s just another chain
I see an end, is it hope
I see a light, it’s not, it’s a train

Overcame with desire
As the sirens serenade
The cold flame of a fire
As I'm beckoned to the shade

A beacon calling to me
As I'm guided to the docks
But the darkness comes to fool me
******, I crash against the rocks

I move with no control
As the devil leads the dance
He charms away my soul
Like a snake tuned to a trance

Hypnotised by those evil eyes
A promise of all I crave
But it's a lie, as the only prize
Is an eternity as his slave

A claim to buried treasures
A map to all my dreams
Tempted by the pleasures
But all is not what it seems

My destiny rests on a road that's tainted
I travel the wrong path my fate foretells
Covered with blood the sign was painted
Underneath read 'Welcome To Hell'

Heckled hairs, ****** fingers,
Lips lowered to the left,
Nostrils flared as red mist lingers,
Growing greater with every breathe,

Peeled teeth, chin dipped in,
A ferocious frown hides his eyes,
Concealed beneath, an invictus grin,
As shadows fall down from the skies.

As rain reigns over his unsteered stare,
Blinkless he remains throughout,
Like an untamed flame without fear or care,
As instinct drains away any doubt.

Edged elbows, shoulders set,
Arms untied as they ride either side,
Knees creased, chest out pressed,
He stays calm as hes prized to a stride.

Lightening explodes declaring terror,
As night creeps closer with every sound,
The road implodes from the unairing tremor,
As his tightened toes grip the ground.

Forked fractures escape his standing,
Like tainted veins rupturing the earth,
They stalk and capture all with its branding,
As it takes claim to all in its birth.

Thunder snaps like cracked glass,
Fire breathes from beneath with a rage,
A hunters unmasked from within a black mass,
As the beast is released from its cage.

It follows its prey as its prowl is resumed,
Like unshackled hounds no longer confined,
Bellows echo through the rain as it howls at the moon,
The shattered surrounds leaving nowhere hide.

Fearless he treads to where from the growls dwell,
He's prepared and ready to fight,
As he nears he's swallowed into the bowls of hell,
Undeterred as he is fed to the night.
