Settling Shadows

The darkness settles into the corners of my mind.
Harsh, heartless, unapologetically unkind.
Seeking release from my torturous cage.
Craving blood, violence, hatred and blinding rage.

There is an eerie scratching inside my empty skull.
The world is lifeless, hellish and dull.
The cracks don’t mend, though the blood seeps through.
Disturbing images of what I dream to do to you…

I scream so loud, the sound shatters the void.
It seems that all good thoughts I had, have been destroyed.
I crave the promises that the darkness promises to bring.
I hear the monsters, a siren’s lullaby they sing.

It grows darker when I picture your face,
contracting and pulsating in a rhythmic pace.
The darker the fruit the more rotten the core.
I want this madness to stop! I need freedom more!

Pleasure and pain collide in a soul-shredding battle.
I cannot conform to your broken reality like mindless cattle.
I have to break out of these rusting shackles I bear.
I seek passion, life and freedom… I wish I knew how to care!

I’m losing control of this puppet of meat,
but this produce of anger is so intoxicatingly sweet.
The climax is building and I need to explode…
I get no release, I just hear the cock and reload…

To the core of my being all this sickens me.
Each realm disgusts, distorts, break and kill me.
Your ragged breaths pimples soft flesh, I sweat.
You take what I give and love what you get.

My perpetual mind feeds from the chaos abound.
The flames awaken thoughts better left unfound.
I breathe, I cry, I even let some of my demons go.
Won’t be long before the darkness begins to grow.

Your touch is a match on gasoline saturated skin and bone.
The firestorm in you fuels my raging ocean when I’m alone.
The burning of your temptation seers through my heart.
The things I want… I want to tear you apart.

The dust does not settle and the lights go out.
I’m screaming and begging for someone to hear me shout.
My shrieks pierce no barrier, they penetrate no wall.
It leaves me pondering the sense of it all.

The rage that’s contained within and the passions I have lost,
Are killing me softly, slowly, at a terrible cost.
I sink into dismissal of the path that I was set.
I ignore what’s important, toss out goals that must be set.

My world is tearing my ticking mind and raging soul apart.
I feel I am losing what is left of me and it is breaking my heart.
I feel all this happening around my insides. I know I’m not blind!
I breathe your name and, for now, the shadows settle in the corners of my mind…
