the darkest of the dark rest not
ignoring the lull of oblivion
pulsing a low hum
like a hammer on the door
behind the veil of darkness
still counting
the monster crept in reveaing its faces
a woman beautiful but deadly
so strong in power even I was frightened
damned by light still I recite the Lord’s prayer
believing it a spell to make this demon disappear
fighting valiantly she froze
then appeared another of her minion
the life sucked from me I couldn’t fight
but it didn’t attack me it attacked the one I love
he was lost to me and I cry
saddened, I took his hollow shell home
shaken, just an echo of myself screaming
the night terror followed me into the sunny day
afraid of what hunts my dreams is awaiting me in the beauty
reminded of how fragile I am
my thoughts spin then rise to cast the blackest magic I know
it appears as a rainbow and will find this demon wherever it may go
down into hell where it shelters
she wasn’t after me she wanted my loved one
fear would not keep me she would pay dearly
