In the dark
Defenses are thin
The monsters howl
Begging to be let in
The rain falls down
A staccato beat on the roof
Echoing the tears in my heart
That will not fall
Access denied
Feeling aloof
To the pain in my soul
A blackness dark
Coats my very existence
The monsters wail
Begging to be fed
Promising light after the blood
To slumber in the post pain haze
I know the truth
Of their existence
Never sated, always begging for more
The cravings deep
Alone in the night
With the monsters in my head
In my heart
In my soul
Filling the cracks with blood
In the place of tears
Descent Rising
