Broken wishes and shattered bones,
lost within are the lies I’ve told,
so I’ll go far away,
another place, another day,
somewhere darker than my own,
somwhere new I can call home.

“Is this really all you have to say for yourself? Is this all that’s left between us?” She asks.
“Fuck you! You lock me up in this prison, yet you expect me to love you, what a fool you are, and how I’ll love taking your head from your shoulders!”

Slowly,
as the veil lifts,
and you see me now,
for what I am,
the beast,
the demon,
the bastard son of this world,
but I ask you not to be afraid,
there is no need for fear,
for you should rejoice,
for soon,
when I take you within,
you,
and your sin,
it’ll be forever,
there will be no end,
I’ll never leave you,
and,
you’ll never leave me,
so close your eyes my child,
for it’s time t.. What, are you crying?
can it be true,
after all the words I’ve said,
you still fear me,
you still fear your savior?
Believe me,
the pain will be quick,
and you will realise I am your only salvation,
I am the the son,
the daughter,
the first.

Through my skin,
the blade does cut,
starting upwards,
from my gut,
you dug it in there,
you drove it deep,
you’ve silenced the demon,
and you’ve granting me eternal sleep.

Scatching to get free,
the darkness radiates from me,
body broken,
torn apart,
and then I see,
who I’ll never be,
that I’ll never be free,
of who is truly me.

Hello my children, I say my, because you all, are my children in some way, shape or form.
As we move forward, you will see me more and more, for I will be the voice of all those who do not have one, I will be the master, of this domain.
You will learn to fear me, but, you will also yearn for my touch, for my, flesh.
Until then, enjoy the darkness for, it will only get darker from here on in.
For there is only 3 days until the end of all roads twisted, and the begging of trials filled with fear, and dread.
If you wish to call me, fearinfear@outlook.com is where I sit, presiding over this place I will soon call, home. Send me messages, pictures, words, those worthy, will be printed here, those, unworthy, I will keep for myself.

Yet again he mocks from where he hides, come out, see me, I’ll show you my scars and, I’ll show you the beast, in all its glory, and then it will feast upon your sin!
What Gareth?
Are you afraid of this withered beast?

There is no need to bless me,
for I do not sin,
I’m just drowning in the mess,
that I was born in,
I wear no mask,
I hide no shame,
when in the end,
it is you I blame.

Blood drips,
blood flows,
from the rips in their skins,
I know you see them,
I know you can taste it,
the thickness,
the warmth,
it empties,
but yet their hearts still beat,
like straws in empty cups,
sucking up the last few drops,
and then,
no more,
silence,
welcome to my home,
welcome to the darkness that I live in,
welcome to your end,
don’t believe his words,
don’t believe his lies,
there is no more to write,
there is only goodbye.

My darkness cries for forgiveness,
as it swallows all I am,
making me something new and wrong,
or was this me all along?

“I don’t know how I can thank you, everything you’ve done today will not be forgotten,” he says, looking up at him, tears running down his cheeks.
“I’m not being generous here sport, this is what you’d call, a building experience for everyone,” he says with a uncomfortable, wry smile.
