Damnation

Fear,
Is dripping from your pores,
Through your head,
The air it roars.

Blackness,
Leaves your path unknown,
You wander blindly,
Here,
Alone.

Creaking branches,
Mangled trees,
Reaching out,
With true unease.

Every shadow,
Something greater,
Fallen friend,
Evil traitor.

Something,
Hunts you on this night,
And fills your quivered soul,
With fright.

You must push on,
Afraid to fall,
Left behind,
To face it all.

Heart is pounding,
Blood runs cold,
Remembering,
That piece you sold.

You see it now,
This soul you bear,
His to claim,
Your despair.

Regretful wishes,
He fulfilled,
Signed in blood,
You gladly spilled.

He plays with you,
This endless night,
Feeding on,
The fear you fight.

The devil,
And his vicious grin,
Collecting on,
Your mortal sin.
