The Rape

And so the darkness comes again
This eternal wave of fear
Creeping through the silence
To cloud up all that was clear

To drag me down with sorrow
To crush my hopes of escape
To claw its way inside my mind
And begin its twisted rape

It binds me in my fear and pain
It resists my futile fight
It mocks me as I cry for help
It revels in my plight

It leaves me broken and empty
On the verge of peaceful death
It holds me close and kisses me
As I rasp my final breath
