Perfect enemy...

By SolApathy

Perfect enemy…

In the darkest depths of night
Well beyond the absence of light
There is a pain I caress
Emptiness I cannot fight
Filling me with a symphony of agony
A contract that needs to be filled
I will never fail
I will be the retribution you seek
I am the power to be
When you are weak
I am the silent song spinning in your head
Hammering out a beat of death you can’t escape
This is an experiment into extremes
Take you to the edge and back again
See how many visits it takes
Before you break the chain
Sanity I’ll steal from you
And you’ll find blood on your hands before long
As you whisper my song
Unable to escape the melody of your sins
You find yourself on a course you can’t escape
I whisper in your ear
Welcome to your fate
A killer with conscious
I will strip you clean
Raw
I will transform your soul
You will let go
You will transform
Be reborn
You will see
You will soon be
…me

    Deep satire. :)

  • A former member wrote: This makes me think of that A Perfect Circle song called "Perfect Enemy". Especially this line from the song: "wake up and face me, don't play dead". We shoulder so much in the way of our inner demons, as well as suffer the idiocy of those who fail to understand, that we have to stand up and say "enough is enough". That can drive us to lash out against those people, thereby turning them into enemies. Beautifully written, Sol. Queen Reb:).
