The darkness
that stains us all
Seeps out
From inside
Moldered By our inner fears
It knows us
Better than we know ourselves
The darkness
That makes us who we are
Knows where we keep our secrets
Buried deep inside
It nestles in the pit
And grows within
The lies we tell ourselves
The darkness
That stains us all
Permeates
Every living cell
It flows from our mouths
Thick and hot as tar
Every time we speak
Slow breath
Clouds the cold air
Fingers numb
Around the cold wet blade
Realisation or
A lack of conviction
I wish I had the spine
To kill myself
