Because the Dark has you Now.

The slow seduction of a sleepless love is never enough

to satisfy a craving hunger hidden within our psyche

a deeper unconscious that brings fear to your eyes

and leaves a scar so deep it burns your core

and swallows your sanity into a pit of slippery

lies and hate and crying children

await the fate that has befallen your

hopeless gratitude towards a man of no soul

he creates an abyss where love is swallowed whole

and cherished by the devil where he kisses your sore feet

with knives of sexual passion and sticky sweat

as it trickles down your neck you feel the presence

creep up against your quivering thighs

and he has you again against the wall of protection

that falls and caves and never supports your body

for it crumbles among rocks and dirt

where the mice lick their tails after a satisfying dinner

that you have not felt in a long time coming

because the dark has you now.
