From Within

Stars sparkled with

terrifying malevolence.

Those dark, cosmic things

crept through my mind,

quiet alien intruders.

I did not know

what they were.

Some part of me

understood and screamed

in horrified disbelief.

 

Their misshapen,

inhuman hands tangled

themselves in my thoughts.

I suffocated.

I could not escape.

I could feel

their tongues lapping

at my brain.

Teeth gnawing on

my skull.

They were eating me

from within.

 

At once, I died

and let them have me,

but that was not

the end.

My lost mind wandered

among labyrinths of

stars, moons,

galaxies, and universes.

Meanwhile, I lost

bits and pieces

of my mind to

encountered black holes.

They too tore

me apart, but

more pleasurably than

the others.

 

I was alive

and I was not alive.

I could feel no

physical pain.

Yet, everything was wrong.

Where could I go right?

I had not control

over my earthly faculties

any longer.

Slowly, I sensed

my mind dimming,

fading into oblivion.

Until there was

nothing left.
