Darkness Shines in His Eye

I in depths of twilight's slumber
saw a dream in its haunting claim
of shadows dancing in evil glee
picking at my peripheral vision

I looked into the depths of the abyss
staring at the realm of nightmares
lost and afraid I prayed so hard
to wake to the comfort of my bed

you looked up at me from below
your face contorted in pain and fear
looked into my face with red eyes
hissed your wish to be free

you reached for me with claws for fingers
hatred shone in your bleeding eyes
there is no heaven here only rage
you should come and take my place

you shouldn’t be alive you old crone
you should be here I need my youth
fair is not fair you should be dead
not I, you shrieked with wanton loathing

tears on my pillow grief laced
gurgled up by my sorrow
