Let me tell you what I know.
You cast a shadow, watch it grow.
You chuckle to yourself, you smile,
Enjoy your doing for a while.
You listen to the screams of pain
For which that shadow is to blame,
You take your sit in the front row
Devouring the horror show.
Now, as the victim turns to dust
And as that shadow turns to lust,
Your heart is twitching satisfied.
Another soul’s been mortified.
After some time the screaming stops,
The show is done, the curtain drops.
You then proceed to play with light,
But find yourself engulfed by night.
You shake your head in disbelief,
You turn again searching relief,
But when you turn the road’s not there,
There’s only darkness everywhere.
A shiver strikes your fragile spine,
What instinct speaks you can’t decline.
For now it comes to take its toll,
It yearns for your expensive soul.
You should have known, the truth was there,
In black and white under your stare.
You wish to leave…”Oh no, dear friend”
“You stay right here, enjoy the end.”
