    Soulless Solace

    I'm the killer inside you
    Who snuck in beside you
    So close, I can hear you breathe

    My sights fixed upon you
    The wound drips life from you
    The demon is waiting to feed

    I have walked with you
    Quietly stalking you
    Slowly learning your mind

    Blinding fears from you
    Taking years from you
    On the body of your soul, I will dine

    You crawl to me in lust
    On your knees in disgust
    Oh how the tables have turned

    The predator cowers confronted
    Being devoured by the hunted
    The flame is now the burned

    With no will to resist
    From the need that still exists
    You fall limp to the floor

    It's my spell you're under
    Eyes swell with hunger
    Legs spread, wanting more

    Take me into your arms
    To free yourself from harm
    My little catch of the day

    I'm like a disease in the air
    Carried along on the breeze of despair
    Summoned by the evil, for which you've paid

    Tonight you danced so graceful
    Romanced by the killer of the faithful
    The end is closer than it seems

    Living for so long with your shame
    This song always ends the same
    You're dying alone, with shattered dreams

    You are the author if this incredibly dark poem.... remembing it from the Island and my vote. You are so capable of evoking the Strongest emotions of chill, just memorable, this is the kind of poem, one does not forget... incredible talent and control to be able to pull it in, kind of like the light owning lightning and dragging that energy into a one page poem, charged, alive, not dull or boring, an A, one-a the best I ever read, didn't like poe's, which is much too long, especially for today's generation, who must tell an entire New discovery of a major value of the entury in a 1/2 hour TV show or All Wisdom Ever Known in a 1 page ... your work is More... it is pulsing.... poetic Poe +

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
