Tormented
by Gaynor Lewis
Draw me into the darkness
To a land of myth and magic
Where the elves and goblins dance a death
Of pixies acting tragic
Where the trees are draped in fear
And the fires glow hot and bright
Burning curses into those
Who are a creature of the night
Draw me into emptiness
Let me gorge upon its ire
Allowing rage to take me over
And fill me with its desire
As I drown amid its waste
And from its waste, the wrath I swallow
Leaves a brutal, ugly taste
Of a void in which I wallow
Draw me into the darkness
Make me humble, let me see
All of the monsters in my shadows
Who are chasing after me.
