Moth

Gaze into my hollow eyes

Peek you surely must

Stare if you dare

Yet with time you will realize

Resistance is futile.

As you gaze into my hollow eyes

A beast has awoken within

Yearning for its existence

Longing for this moment

Inch by inch, closer and closer

Does your heart now quiver?

Is your blood more potent?

Serenity no longer.

Gasp, as you gaze into my hollow eyes

Now my fingers coil darkness emerges

You’re helpless to my touch

Deliverance by no means as I never promised such

Yet the cold now treks within

Further away from reality your journey begins

With a final question forcefully I oblige

Is there light on the other side

As you gaze into my hollow eyes?

Tell me.
