A world is suddenly cast into darkness,
and he lay naked, wide eyed
staring at the roof, the sky
drenched in his own blood he sighed
in fear, trying to break through it all.

Before it came to him, he had already been stilled,
he tread the way he knew best;
reaching for the words,
before he felt his chest
ripping open and it’s voice drowned his mind,
into silence, so quiet in the bitter darkness alone and terrified.

The creature didn't tear his flesh,
no mark of its existence were burned in there,
but it bit through him, tearing at everywhere,
while desperately trying to fend it off,
and shout for help in pain
while bleeding and shaking again and again.

His world suddenly thrown into the abyss as he tried to see
this beast in the darkness, it lashed out to free
him of this world permanently,
he called in choked whisper,
as he was embraced in the darkness and his own blood stains;
then it vanished, he was free.

Choking, crying, reaching but not grasping.
He turned on the light closest to him,
and could still only the see himself,
in this endless darkness, he was afraid
to fall asleep again,
it would one day return,
it's ways were never changing...
Woke up one Friday morn,
felt like I was being torn,
reached and touched the shadow grave,
and felt the kind of aura it gave...

That morning I was dead to this world,
as I layed there and in panic swirled,
gasping and choking to take in my (final?) hour,
before it left its mark on me, it's horrific power.
