under the bed
in the attic
hiding in the basement
wherever the dark
demonic titillation
born without salvation
waiting...
wanting...
needing...
more
living in nightmares
patiently follows
into the shadows
devouring souls
attacking in secret
raping broken hearts
bleeding...
sweating...
knowing...
fear
gagged and bound
branded for life
feeding on swollen minds
blinded by fire
singed by tears
eyes yearning for light
biting...
clawing...
gnashing...
teeth
mercy withheld
justice fails
ritualistic death ensues
pupils dilated
no more hope
one last breath goes through
kicking...
screaming...
choking...
alive
monsters and heroes
demons and angels
criminals and victims
dark souls rejoice
broken reflections
no light nor dark
none...
can fill...
nor feel...
the void
