Darkness

The dark creeps closer, threatens to engulf me.
It slithers like a snake, ready to strike, to kill.
But it whispers like an alluring breeze.
Calls me in a voice that is like a lover's.
It promises light and life.

And I don't know how to respond. Whether I should be scared and run, or give in and seek the promise it offers. It's already taken half of me, already stolen my soul. It is simply a question of whether I should let it have my mind and body as well. It promises to take away pain, emotion. It promises me strength, invincibility. It promises that it will help me rid myself of everyone who's ever hurt me. It promises power.

But it implies cold, bleakness. Implies a death-like existence. Implies ruthlessness and cruelty.

Would I want to do that to myself... No. Never in my right mind.

But with half of me already gone... Am I in my right mind? Or have I already made my choice?
