Murk

There is no light in you There is no light in me All is murk There is no shimmer of light Illuminating the wickedness of dreams As whispers lick my thoughts Trickle in effigy Slip through the tangled knot A marriage to obscurity All naiveté we tread Desecrates the waking few instead Close my eyelids Release the magnificent Truth will forbid Lucidity's viciousness Cut down to splinters, even worms fall Writhing like embers, slowly they crawl Eclipse eternal, cease light for all Drowning in torpor, lost in withdrawal Existence lay naked before me Her promises flush so warmly Anhedonic, no interest in she I bed with amorphous misery Maw of ecstasy, swallow them whole Grin of despair, black laughter coiled There is no light in you There is no light in me All is murk There is no shim Mer of light Illuminating the wickedness of dreams Sink beneath unwoken Abyssian sleep
