The darkness within

by Shayna Miklas
(Naples, Florida, U.S.A.)

A lonely shadow is all I am,
until you learn my master plan.

To feel your pain, through your vein
the ecstasy of it all, untamed.

your cries, they thrill me,
as your body dies for all to see.

you drink from me, oh the heresy.
beauty, in the numbness of it all.

you convulse, you die
never again to to feel or cry.

you are reborn, unto the night
vermillion is all in your sight.

the blood, a perfect drug of despair
as you destroy all that care.
