Prequel 2: Darkness

Why is it so dark
When I open my eyes
I feel like
I’m getting swallowed alive
It creeps through my heart
And across my veins
This darkness of life
Is unlimited pain
Nothing ever
Goes my way
Murphy’s law
Makes it somehow ok
Am I cursed
Or is it love
I do everything right
Now I can barely fight
As it chokes at me
Gripping my throat
Pulling me down
Giving me no hope
I feel like I’m stuck
Feet in quicksand
I panic and struggle
But I’ll be damned
I gasp for air
As my legs plunge
Into this despair
The eternal darkness
As it yanks my feet
I claw at my throat
As It starts to bleed
I wish I still had hope
I’d give anything now
Just to breath
The darkness now has me
By my hip
Deeper I go
As I bite my lip
What is this goo
That’s swallowing me
I did bad things
When I was young
I tried to atone
But I wanted to have fun
Now my destiny
Is punishing me
Me for something
Am I dreaming
Is this hell
I cry for help
But can barely make a peep
As it touches my chest
No one to hear a shriek
Is everyone dead?
I try to yell
But my lungs are in endless hell
The darkness compresses
And gives me less air to shout
I try to swim
I try to crawl
But there is nothing left
As I take this dark fall
It reaches my neck
As I cry out my last speck
Tears are meaningless now
As it goes in my mouth
My nose is covered
It’s all over now
I stare into the darkness
For one final goodbye
Before I lose sight
I’m going to die
I feel myself submerge
As I wait to rot
My chest is on fire
My consciousness drops
I jolt awake
Is everything alright
I’m in some kind of weird place
It gives me a fright
Something is wrong
Why is it so dark
When I open my eyes
I feel like
I’m getting swallowed alive…
