Close your eyes and fall.

Fall into that abyss that lies silently behind your line of sight,

Fall into a place where your thoughts are violent,

But your mind is still.

Close your eyes and fall into the darkness.

 

Let the emptiness caress your soul,

Remove the warmth of life and become colder than the headstone,

As your thoughts run dry and your fears fill up with life.

Recreate the feeling of death, remove the pain and just be cold.

Let your demons crawl out of your fears and fall,

Let them fall down your cheeks, have them caress your face,

In ways that people never could.

 

Now, pray,

Not for your forgiveness or your salvation.

But pray for the eternal damnation you have survived since birth.

Silently and secretly curse Heaven and Earth

As you fail to take your mind out of purgatory and blow out the flames

 

Now focus on the darkness,

Let it envelope you, inscribe letters on your body,

As you emerge from the darkness.

Now open your eyes and submerge those thoughts

Regret your life and wish death upon yourself

Utter a silent amen to cement your undying beliefs

Return the skeletons in their closets and let the darkness free.
