SIX
Falling into darkness slipping into fear. All that is left is the broken shards of my horrors. I stand only a few feet from the edge. I fear that if I fall I shall not get up again. I have seen empires burn and kingdoms fall. But not the suffocating sight of your deception. I lie on a bed of nails, becoming what I feared. This is my sacrifice, my pain, I must endure. My scars sear the burning flesh of my saviour. But never will my redeemer die. And now I stand, suffocating under your oppressive fist. I scream for help, but my words don’t emerge. Only a sadistic laugh of terror. Revulsion fills me, despair takes me. I inhale the black smoke and feel the decay. Inside your cynical gunshot fires a resistance of hope. A beacon of light, when all other light dies. An illumination that will fall into the shadows. Take me, find me, consume all my darkness. Devour the demon inside of me. I thank you for the poison you gave me. Here is my salvation, my escape of your banishment. I take your sins, I right your wrongs. I revolt against this perfect world. Diving into the deep pool of demise. I lay myself open before my saviour. He embraces me with arms wide open. I take my one last breath. I’m falling into light slipping into happiness.
