Darkness is my light<\/p>\n
Poetry is my pain;<\/p>\n
Broken silence in the night<\/p>\n
Bears my Name<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Walls of decay guide my way<\/p>\n
Brightness is a blur;<\/p>\n
Sanity is decay<\/p>\n
Fear is my fantasy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I write of pleasure;<\/p>\n
I write of pain;<\/p>\n
My tortured soul<\/p>\n
Shall remain<\/p>\n
As I dip my<\/p>\n
Poison<\/p>\n
In<\/p>\n
the<\/p>\n
ink<\/p>\n
On the shelves<\/p>\n
Behind the walls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Death and demise<\/p>\n
And vulture eyes,<\/p>\n
Black cats,<\/p>\n
Sealed caskets,<\/p>\n
Boarded up behind the<\/p>\n
Mortar and the bricks<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In your nightmares<\/p>\n
In your dreams<\/p>\n
Within the bright moon beams,<\/p>\n
I am the ticking of the clock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
