The Darkness Inside Me:
Okay, this was just a very small little piece that I was thinking about and decided to write. It is about Draco Malfoy. An abstract sort of piece. Not quite poetry, but ... anyway, I will let you read it and see what you think. I would like to dedicate this story to a friend of mine, Alex. Thanks for pushing me to step outside of my comfort zone and publish my stories. Thanks for always reading them and telling me what you think. I apologize in advance for writing something new when I should finish the stories I already have, I know you hate that. I will stop with the Author's Note – I know they are annoying. Please give me a review, guys! Thanks!
Disclaimer: If you think I could come up with the plot of Harry Potter, wow. That's all.
The darkness, it follows me
It creeps upon me, sucking me into its black abyss
Can I fight it? Do I have the strength?
I can feel it pulled, slowly moving up its way up my paralyzed body.
It makes my hair stand up, takes my breath away.
The darkness is consuming me.
I tried to save myself, but the sticky black tar has me.
It has rooted me to the floor, it has locked my arms to my side.
Here it comes: up the chest, now the neck, to the chin, over the mouth.
Somebody, anybody, can't you hear my cry for help?
The darkness is muffling it, hushing my pleas.
It has reached my nose now, making its way to my eyes.
Soon it will cover my fair blonde hair.
I try to cry, but it has stolen my tear ducts.
"Hush," they tell me. "It is an honor."
I listen to them, my family, my friends.
They know best, do they not?
I fight the urge to scream, I fight the darkness, I fight until I am out of breath.
Then I submit.
I allowed the darkness to consume me, to absorb itself into my body.
I have become the evil itself.
The blackness has faded away, the pain has ceased.
All that remains is the black on my left arm.
The mark, with its seductive snake and chilling skull.
I have left, the Dark Mark Remains.
Reviews make me really happy! Thanks for your dedication, guys! Love, NotJustAMuggle
