Hello Darkness

Inspired by.the song of the same name

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to bleed with you again.
A twisted vision, not softly creeping,
But tearing fabric while I was sleeping.


It left its seeds, a putrid stain,
Of rot and sorrow, flesh and pain.
And the horror that was planted in my brain,
Still rends and chars, it will remain.
A festering wound, a final dread,
Where sanity has long since fled.


I saw the viscera, cold and stark,
The shadows feeding in the dark.
The broken bone, the empty eye,
No happy tears, no gentle sigh.
Just silence screaming, choked and deep,
Where crimson secrets softly seep.


It still remains, a morbid art,
Carved in the ruins of my heart.
Within the sound of silence, vast and grim,
The severed piece, the dying whim.
No dawn, no comfort, no release,
Just endless horror, and no peace.
