No One Can Ever Know
I skulk among shadows,
hide among the dark and gloomy corners,
allowing their presence to
swallow me whole.
And when confronted with
sadistic light,
I scowl--I glare,
dark cold eyes my weapons
that easily dispel
mercy and warmth, or
a kindly smile.
Recipients scatter, fervently
glancing to the floor, giving
the wide berth I so crave
and deserve. A hollow nothing
expands within--my worst enemy
and dear friend.
And in the loneliness of
the frigid night, guilt
creeps through my heart,
self-hatred seeps into my soul,
dragging me further to the
icy depths of hell.
I have no best. I am
just a vessel for Evil
to work through. I
let him in, let him take
the one thing that made life
so beautiful--
she will not grace my life
again, a deadly consequence
of my actions.
