Apt Pupil

Apt Pupil

What do you know of darkness?
What do you know of pain?
I will teach you.

 
I will guide the hand that guides the beauty of suffering.
I will empty your waking mind and fill it with my endless void.

 
I am the blood that is ink.
You are my blank slate.
I will scrawl the runes of eternityon on your soul. 

What do you know of darkness?
What do you know of pain?
You will learn.

 I will teach you.

geez, i just watched a good old horror picture last night, that i hadn't seen since i was 11 years old...Mr. Sardonicus...
and this poem could have been a subtitle for that movie...the suffering, the pain...

one person feels it and then puts it upon another...makes someone else, usually innocent, suffer as well..

we learn the pain and then teach others...

i like this piece.
