Encased in Isolation

You encased yourself in isolation,
A darkness nothing could break through.
Wrapped yourself in fascination,
Of worlds, you could never make it to.
Then came a shadow;
It slid beneath the cracks.
Curious you became,
No hesitation, no way back.
From the darkness, you stood alone,
Searching for the door.
What should you find but love's great tune,
A melody you adored.

Cast aside, upon the rough-watered sea.
True love to find? No, just fantasy...
Pull your nose out of that book,
A fairytale was what you'd thought you'd find?
Just a nightmare, how could you be so blind?

Slithering around you in its warm embrace,
Darkness returns to claim its rightful place.
Cast aside foolish dreams of love's great tale,
A princess divine?
No, the true ruler of Hell.
