Stillness

In the stillness waiting  
 
Down a dark alleyway on the edges of madness  
 
I watch as your breath quickens  
 
Perspiration on your brow  
i wonder what you’re thinking  
 
Your eyes dart back and forth  
But no one is there  
 
The ties that bind you twist and tighten  
 
You are all alone with your God  
But he doesn’t answer  
 
In desperation you try to imagine  
An escape  
 
But there is no escape from the nightmare  
 
My soul has departed  
All iI have is vengance  
 
Your sacrifice will reunite me with my devil  
 
You beg and plead for someone
 Or something to save you  
 
But you begin to realize  
That you are all alone with a demon  
 
In your final hours  
Why won’t Jesus pick up the phone  
 
He’s not answering  
Your  calls go straight to voicemail  
 
The time is upon you  
You’ll soon meet your maker  
 
Your  pulse quickens as  
I’ll reveal the monster in me  
 
You breath your last breath  
As the phone rings
…It’s Jesus
