Fading Into The Darkness

Fading into the darkness
Vanishing into the abyss of decay
I found myself surrounded by my fears and nightmares
With no hope to stay alive and survive all the anguish

I become an ethereal creature falling into the garden of lust
Where I’m intoxicated by the poisonous and vicious scent of flowers
Flowers of love and flowers of death
An obsidian alcove where my passions take form in phantom splendour, doomed to languish with the waning moon

The most unholy visions come to my mind
And my heart pounds like the frantic wings of a bat lost in a cathedral’s hollow darkness
Whilst a pounding rain pierces my heart like sharp daggers

My silent screams rise into the ethereal void
Leaving me lonely as I gasp on the ground in my dungeon of solitude and sorrow
Fading into the darkness of my pangs of love
I vanish in the mysterious world of my nightmares

I lost my mind, and my soul belongs to every torment of mine
I saw all the occurrences of my existence floating in my mind
Like haunting ghosts stalking me in every hidden thought
I belonged to my dreads rooted inside my heart like sharp thorns

My luscious passions and longings bend me
They break my heart, shattering into thousands of fragments
I remain totally alone, wandering in the darkness that is killing me
Like a sweet poison tainting my soul softly and slowly

The tragicity of my fate condemned me to never lie in rest
The wild storm inside my heart lacerated me
And I strived to survive and maintain sanity
But every spec of wisdom had left me permanently

Doomed to be a peculiar and ethereal creature
I was resolute to reside in my own realm of phantasmagoria
And live there for the rest of my miserable reality
To forsake forever my pristine mind, once chained in obsessive normality, now unshackled in delirium.
