...Guise of the sadist

By SolApathy

Who thought emptiness could fuel a fire
Burn white-hot; my desire for revenge
Expose you for what you are
Paralysis of mankind
Soliciting with your empty pill bottle of hope
Smiling as you assist those to tie their rope
Whisper their own fear into their ears
Separating them from everything dear
Smiling as you know you are sending them on their way
Caressing them with thoughts of suicide
End the misery my friend with a quick trip to the end
Take this pill and release control of your will
…Not so fast
I cast a light into the dark corners of this nightmare scene
Break them of your dark romance
You see I’ve been where they have been
Only I never gave in…Though I could taste…
The darkness almost had its place in my soul
Until I dug deep to escape this perilous hole
Fell through the blackness, into the never
Beyond the reach of your lies
I witness the darkness flare within your eyes
I couldn’t help but to smile as I cracked your disguise
Cloaked in a doctors’ garb
Your sinister methods leaving only scars
May I deliver a few of my own?
Expose you for what you are
Sadist in the white coat
I hung you by your own
…Rope

    The way your writes seem to weave together is amazing. It's almost like they all tell one story. It's fascinating.
