The Darkest corners

You live hidden in the recesses of my mind
A perpetual spoon scraping away at the inside of my heart
My darkness carries you like the wings of an angel
Bringing you from the depths to the surface

We are drawn together by my human nature
Despite all the good there is also an evil within me
I can always hear the sardonic laughter echoing
Your voice will always be ringing in my ear

This desire to inflict pain is born of your hunger
An unquenchable thirst that would drink the world dry
You'll always revel in the fact that I am drawn to you
Because I need you to bring balance to my scales

Once you escape the depths we battle for control
There are times I do not fight you at all
When the red filters through I'm trapped in blissful oblivion
As you rip chunks out of people to sate your primal instinct

Although I hate it you're always close to my core
It's not unusual for you to overwhelm me in the blink of an eye
And though this is something I hate to admit to myself
You and I are actually one and the same
