So you want to know&;#063;

so you want to know what darkness is?
darkness is when I've disarmed your verbal artillery
with a vile vignette pulled from the dank barrel
and spat at you in glorious fucknicolour
when your mouth slams shut and your brain seizes dry
my pictures infecting your atrophied mind
I have this, I do this
dragging frame after razor frame over your eyes
splashing the walls with the fear of yourself
projecting parts of you that you beg to stay hidden
I'm showing you who you really are
you
you
YOUYOUYOUYOU
you ARE like me and you hate it
if I'd stayed away and boiled alone you'd have avoided
this crude awakening
your tiny sickness would have festered lonely
but now it has a friend
I've opened up your stinking box and laid you out
can you cope?
you could never cope
black hooks hold your fingers in place
the flesh of your dream scabs over
I know you want
ME
TO
LET
YOU GO
but I won't
ever.
