Work Text:

A violent scream tears the night apart,
No light in sight to devour the dark.
A lonely man, so frightened and alone,
Walks the desolate path with no way home.

With nowhere to turn, banished from his life,
His body gives up, no more strength for strife.
He has lost all hope to find his way back,
He drifts towards an inevitable wrack.

Dancing eerie ghost lights chasing the night,
But they are all too soon fading from sight.
Surrender to darkness, all hope is gone,
That is the path he sat himself upon.

Once goldenly glowing, glistening orbs
Glinting darkness, that greedily absorbs.
Dawn is approaching, there’s no turning back,
Pain is the prayer that paints his mind black.
