Of my own making

By keltruth7

What we contest
comes to pass
the darkness in our hearts
it consumes 
from shallow thoughts
brings about an evil
conjures, tricks and deceives
tells us not to breathe
no pure thought can abide
no love
no warmth
no joy
we lie shattered in a cocoon of our own making
choking
gasping
suffocating
what we contest comes to pass
we hold the key
how long will it last
