I Am What You Fear?
written by Missy

you walk so quickly past me,

fear quaking in your eyes

I smile with amusement

for it is so very strange to me

that you should be so afraid

of a pathetic little sycophant

who hides behind you in the shadows

unable to speak out from the darkness

trapped by something you'd never believe in

forced silent by the howling storm

and feeding off the bones of the sacred.

turn your light on and I will die

without the shadows to seek comfort in -

the roses stand majestic in the sunlight,

but my skin rots away with the lies that it brings
