Silence Of The Night

“Doesn’t look like a monster, does he?” “They rarely do.”

She danced with the dark, under stars of fireflies,

But the darkness whispers sweet lullabies,

She gazed at the sky, where the shadows collide,

With beauty and ugliness, they twist and glide,

A dreamer unchained, in a world all alone,

In the depths of the night, she claimed her throne.

No escape from the cold, black embrace,

Once you sell your soul, you’re lost in this place.

 

Once in my folly, I thought love was pure,

A bond unbroken, a promise to endure,

Yet one fateful night, the truth took its toll,

Revealing the monsters that feast on the soul.

They crawl from the corners, like shadows in dreams,

Devouring hope, tearing apart all your seams,

A tempest of sorrow, a storm in my chest,

Eternal love’s a nightmare, no peace for the blessed.

 

In the silence of night, with fears laid to rest,

I hear the laughter, the demons’ cruel jest,

A monster in my heart, a serpent of dread,

Desire consumes me, with hunger I bled.

They’ll break you apart, feed on passion and fire,

Flickering embers, the sparks of desire,

 

Once I loved a beast, who took all I’d give,

My heart and my virtue, they stole just to live,

As the sky turns from blue, into darkness so black,

I hear their taunts echo, there’s no turning back.

Vengeance awaits, it’s a hunger reborn,

For never again will my spirit be torn,

I’ll rise from the ashes, a phoenix aflame,

With the fire of fury, I’ll call out their name.

 

So here in the night, with my eyes open wide,

I gather the strength, where the shadows abide,

No more sacrifice to the lust for the thrill,

I’ll break through the silence, and reclaim my will.

For once upon a time, I was lost in the night,

But now I embrace, the fury and fight.

While reading this it brought sadness, so much pain, but this line "But now I embrace, the fury and fight." show me your fighting spirit and I felt hope, as long as there is a will to fight darkness is held at bay. Very thought provoking. Thank you for sharing.
