Darkness

Light seeps through eyelids,
It’s light but it’s still dark,
Something lurks,
A shadow,
Something that was once more,
Can you trust it,
A husk of a man,
Do you feel it now,
Nothing at all,
Or maybe everything,
Clambering,
Dragging your living corpse,
Open wardrobe,
Pull out a face,
Put it on,
Door closes behind you,
Can’t change it now,
Walking now,
No stride,
Surroundings dim,
Dull,
It creeps,
Brush it away,
It keeps distance,
Not enough,
Somewhat calm,
Somewhat rage,
Fire brewing,
Hurts,
Breathe,
In,
Out,
Why,
Why does it hurt,
Why does it feel,
What does it want,
Barter is no use,
Conjoined,
Symbiotic,
Focus on anything,
Clouded,
Tainted,
It creeps closer again,
Fight,
Consumed,
Reality severed,
Questioning,
What have you become,
You shout,
No one hears,
Alone,
Thoughts,
This your battle,
Pull out a knife,
Embed it into your heart,
Gasp,
Splitting,
Reach in and pull out,
Pull out your monster,
Staring,
Eyes narrow,
What will you do…
