Heart of Darkness

Terror shrouded in smoke. Searching for the one who will bring meaning to it's haunting. Grip their flesh, pull it off, gnaw the muscle Latch on to the weakened soul and feed Torturous symbiosis, attuned for a select breed. Swallow light and joy When the victim searches for meaning it shall be skewed Their essence – their life force, removed The heart will bleed as the veins deplete And they fade to black with a morbid sense of attachment. Store the meal and reveal your true form. You will bring many deaths. Darkness entwined within a fire filled husk. You will bring death Lure them in with lavish gestures of deceit Court them, your charm radiant Glazed with spirits fine, their blood will satisfy Indulge upon the nectar – that which gives them life Gathering of gilded saps reduced to a lavish feast Trophies and fresh meat adorn my walls and entrails pave the street. Bones used as tools, their skulls have been removed. Now you see my for what I am. The heart of darkness, a wretch long lost.
