Deep dark depression Deceiving brown like your eyes Envelopes me in ice But my heart does not numb. The hurt is well hidden Isolated far away in darkness What creatures will venture forth To inflame and engorge my pain? The creatures of darkness, Surrounding me now, From a sick man's fantasy Torture, tantalize, prod and pry Soon i shall surrender, Creep into their depths, Soon disgust shall be forgotten Their rituals i will join Praise Almighty for the darkness I fear i could not stand their forms Sounds, even, are ugly to hear But loneliness will be forgotten and unknown --Kim Schludecker
