nothingness smiles
the cruelty of nothingness beckons
I sulk in the background
waiting to be understood
in the darkened shadows that grow long
I seek voice
teetering in the abyss
I see the void
it is a part of me
midnight lies to me saying I am a child of the light
the night is bitter but it is a part of me
a wicked child of keen
sinister in my keep
writhing in anger
the soul lingers, I devour
a hint of sadness stirs
I will slay it too
deceptive faith burning me
in the sacred art of knowing
I dissect the truth and glean the meat

crimsin,
To some the taste of truth is truly the sweetest meat. But others argue that trimmings of shadow and darkness are an acquired taste. Enjoyed!

"deceptive faith burning me
in the sacred art of knowing" I think speaks to those who have lost, found and lost their faith in one way or another. It's a dark spill that speaks to many of us in the know.
Nice work.
