Cravings

the darkness is closing in
it fills every part of me
I crave it
I need it
years of killing, slaying
I've become just like him
the one I hated
going through each day not really living
it wasn't always this way
the scenes from my past
haunt me at night
my heart is covered with it
all I feel is the cold
even she can't melt it
she's waiting for me to come back
be the person I was
before I lost my innocence
she doesn't understand
doesn't know the darkness
the blade slicing through a living thing
life stolen away
watching its eyes grow hard and cold
sometimes I crave it
the death, the dark
I'm drowning in it
wishing it would swallow me up
ending this hero's life
I'm no hero
darkness has no hero
