II.

He is not scared

By the visions.

He is not afraid

Of the dark.

He braves it,

For days on end

Never closing his eyes

Never sleeping.

His hunger for it

Commands everything.

Everything.

He must have everything.

Everything.

It is all his.

All of it is his.

She is all his.

And when he lays there

Arms around her

Vibrant and alive

Twitching with it

He knows

She will always be there for him.

He hates her for this.
