Entity: A Vilanelle

Here comes the darkness that engulfs the eyes
in a mass of acrid bile; it burns alive.
All in disguise?

Purely by surprise
among the ancient ruins it does dive,
the darkness that engulfs the eyes.

Of the times, it has tried to die
it never thought to contrive
that it was all in disguise.

Never given a chance to try
there are now only five
left alive, left of the darkness that engulfs the eyes.

Why all sudden lying?
No longer will it survive,
in the end, it is a disguise.

It rises
and it writhes
the darkness that engulfs the eyes
in all; it is a disguise.

Another poem from my creative writing class. A villanelle is a type of rhyming poem, that has a repetitive rhyme scheme, and it is difficult to write, because you have to make the line not only rhime, but flow together.
