Drifting dark,
Shadows hide within shadows,
Sightless see,
Lightless be,
Rise up in sheets of tallow;
The stones stark.
Lift up your shivering heart,
Soul stolen,
Just a useless body part,
Pumping at a wasted life,
Soul stolen,
Quickly removed by a knife,
Skills of shadows dark shifting,
Soul stolen,
Bound down to senseless drifting.
Hide behind,
Fearing in death’s stones shadow,
No one hides
Darkness rides,
Shattering watchers windows,
And their mind.
All alone,
Paper pages within home,
Flesh and bone.
Gloom
