Stranger

They say that darkness isn't real,
It's simply the absence of light
For me though this darkness is real
It's very palpable. I can feel it on my skin,
I can taste it on my lips. Every thought,
Consumed by this darkness.
Dark deeds and darker desires
Things you wouldn't dare bring to light
For me this darkness is destroying me
It's taking every drop of goodness away
I don't even recognize myself anymore
Just a pale face with sunken bloodshot eyes
