With steely cold fingers he creeps into my mind,
Bringing darkness and thoughts of new despair.
Reminding me of loneliness and love I cant find,
Whispering lies and my heart taste’s his ware,
Weary arms embrace his return, this not his first,
His bed awaits him I find, having left it made,
As if knowing of his coming, an unwanted curse,
He smiles as his presence causes hope to fade.
I look at him, his eyes dark, lifeless in his head,
His glare sends fear shuddering through me,
I am aware that others who embraced him are dead,
He clouds their eyes, to what sets them free.
He smiles, teeth a deep yellow, rotted to the gum,
Drool drips from his lips, a foul odor is there,
A hideous chuckle rises, we know why he’s come,
To take me to him, adding a trophy for his lair.
Straining within me to stand up, flee from this beast,
His evil intent no mystery, I know his desires,
To take me from my glorious king, and our wedding feast,
And carry me screaming down to his eternal fires.
I was a fearless warrior once, clothed in spotless white,
The enemy knew my king, and feared his name,
Bravely I fought on the line, keeping the prize in sight,
But to fierce was the war, I retreated in shame.
Wounds from battles long past, with infection now seeping
He uses my weakness, and teases that I failed,
If I but reach the sword left me, entrusted to my keeping,
But the luster of my armor and shield have paled.
Where are you my king I shout, In utter desperation I cried
Rescue me from this evil. Im caught again a wall.
A voice resounds ringing loudly, many times have I tried,
So I die giving little, to a King who gave all.
Bringing darkness and thoughts of new despair.
Reminding me of loneliness and love I cant find,
Whispering lies and my heart taste’s his ware,
Weary arms embrace his return, this not his first,
His bed awaits him I find, having left it made,
As if knowing of his coming, an unwanted curse,
He smiles as his presence causes hope to fade.
