The Evil Within

Innocence, Optimism…
Child-like nonsense
Take the Bad with the Good

Good vs. Evil
The never-ending battle
So how come
Evil always seems
to have the upper-hand

It has control over
Everyone
It lies dormant
Waiting to strike the
target of
Its
choosing

Love…
Friendship…
Loyalty…
Promises…
Nothing but words
Like the air
Eventually forgotten
They betray
But It's forever there

It is very
S t e a l t h y
Like a Ninja
stalking Its prey

Today's target
A young girl
Very pretty
Sparkling Ultramarine eyes
Now sparkling with tears
Short Auburn hair
Now long and limp, without hope
Innocent features
Now replaced with sorrow

Impressed with It's choice
It moves
S l o w l y
Towards the chosen
One

Abandoned by
Everyone
Left with
Nothing
The girl remains
Unaware or perhaps
Uncaring of
It

Like a shadow that sprung
To life
Like so many times before
It surrounds
Using her tears as strength

It grasps her heart
With a cold hand
Complete the claws and scars
Of death and darkness

Pleased with the effortless
Of the task
It leaves as silently
And unnoticed
As it came
Only with a small crystalline object
That almost seemed to gladly leave its post

Only the girl is left
But no longer
Pure

A New Disciple
Her long hair
Flying wildly
In the non-existent wind

Her once beautiful eyes no longer
Sparkle
Just stare blankly ahead
As though entering the
Soul itself

Her beauty now a
Thing of deceit
And much like
Her Master
A blackness that can't
Be eliminated

Broken promises…Broken spirit…Good-bye
