dark mistress

who are you
dark mistress of death and conflict that ever you pursue
my mystery
and my obsessive fantasy
the Darkness of my heart
the source of truth and pain
inside my shattered mind
your voice enthralling
piercing, all devouring
your spirit a mirror unto mine
your mind unkind
through pain defiled
oblivion is in your sight to stay the rage you feel each night
each day, each hour you remember
and can't escape
and so embrace it to placate
your darkest dreams
the nightmares that make you scream
i crave your honest words of strife, dislike, and sacrifice
for you to recognize your life
is gripped by fear of all you hate
fear of love you think you can't create
shed your tears behind closed doors
and trust in me to not deplore
the lies you tell
your wicked spells
the Evil upon your soul befell
i will keep silent
death defiant
in the face of all your violence
