Eyes of Darkness

Eyes of Darkness

I’ve stared into the eyes of darkness
Leaned in and kissed it
And then told it no
When it said to come with me

It hasn’t given up
I feel the way it still watches
To see if my humanity
Becomes enough of a burden
To weaken my will
Enough to pull me permanently
Into the abyss

I absorb the pain
When I’m trapped in the abyss
Allowing it to bathe my senses
It is where I forged my shield
That you recognize as rough edges
Which I wear without apologies

I’ve lined my bones
With what was sent to destroy me
The Promise of a dark ending
Used as the fuel to my genesis
