War of Dark

My stomach ties in knots
Afraid
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of you

Darkness sits just outside
Calling my name, playing my game
Waiting to engulf, eat me alive, tear me to shreds

You, darkness, sit just inside
More insidious, waiting to pounce
Midnight jaguar
Black claws, bloody teeth

I feel the dark clawing at my door
You beckon me, inviting me to enter you
And let you enter me

I fight knowing I will fail
The locks of my heart are not strong
Keys lost ages ago
Stolen

I fight
Strong enough to keep you at bay?
You answer with a smile, moist tongue licking black lips,
Oh yeah, you're strong enough. Come closer and see.

My stomach knot loosens

You enter me
Deep into veins
I enter you
You devour my heart

Engulfed in your pitch
I become you
And lose me

No longer do I exist
Drowned in a sea of noir
Red blood sucked dry
Veins course with tar

I am decomposed
My soul reeks of rot
Stench of decay
Calling you out of the shadows

Triumph is yours tonight
My soul raped
Slaughtered long ago

Yet continuing to feed you do
Incisors insatiable
As my stomach ties in knots
And the war begins again
