...Undone

By SolApathy

My words flow from the darkness within
 seeping into the ink within my pen...
Onto the paper as it soaks up my hate
Penning words in its place
I escape to this rhythmic prison
Desires and dreams transform into gruesome scenes
Feeding upon themselves as the inkwell of hope long ago dried
My feelings have not died; only metamorphized
Now I am the darkness my words have spun
The deed done, as my words have yet another
…undone

    Excellent extended metaphor Sol, and the closing made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I'll just go quietly now - Cheers! - Dan
