Crawl Back to the Darkness

A poem of hope, and overcoming personal demons

I hear you in the air

Your voice haunts my dreams

Your breath creeps on my neck

Yet you are never here

I see your figure in the darkness

Your fingers clutching the walls

Our skin brushes together for just a second

Yet you aren’t to be found

I feel you even as I sit here, alone

Your presence as the force I can’t escape

Those delicate fingers becoming intertwined with mine

Still no trace of you remains

Shall you force me to smell your aura  now?

Your scent will waft upwardly I suppose

My senses to be dulled my your fragrance

Yet, leaving me surprised when you are not here

Leave me alone

I beg of you, yet again

Crawl back to the darkness, you beast

Or come and be close to me

I feel your aura now

I hear you in the darkness

I see you even as I sit here

I smell you in the air

Yet you don’t come

You will never return here

No trace will ever be found

You won’t cause this air to stir

I beg for new memories

I seek new demons

I desire new pains

I can’t bare the old

Leave

I beg

Crawl back

Or

I know my foolishness

As it is on my lips

For I now remember your ways

Stay gone

I beg for new memories
I seek new demons
I desire new pains
I can’t bare the old

Loved these lines...

this is a very dark, gothic poem. sounds like a succubus come to torment him and succeeding.

Wow, I so can relate to this. It's pretty bad when you wish for new demons. Powerful write..x
