From behind my heart
And out of sight
It crawled, it crept
It came from night
These sharp claws
Keep tight hold on me
Sucking from my bones
The tough and weary fee
The tendrils of fearsome
Hide behind my face
They veil themselves in real emotion
Thirsty for a taste
I was the autumn's child, you see
Of reds and starry nights
After joy, such joy
I fell to the shadow's might.
Oh, it waits, it waits
Where ever it may need
Inside me, patient, hungry
To come out, to feed.

Yo. Me? I'm a professional Metaphor Creator - aka taking two things and sticking them together with determination and lots of glue to make a sandwich. (That's pretty much how I write, too. But hey, sandwiches are great, aren't they? Even if you have to look at the base idea of it.) Also known as a Thinker, Dreamer, Sleeper, and/or TalksTooMucher.
I'm stuck between two devils, And darkness seems to lurk, I can see the whole build up, Of their sly and evil work, I'm stuck between two devils, Their eyes seem set on me, I can tell it's something...

#nightdwellers Shadows play upon the wall, Clockwork hands control the fall, Starlit realm across the hall, Hidden from the minds of all.
I looked down at my hands, Knew something was wrong, My blood had stopped its running, My heart had stopped its song.
Black as the pits I bury them in. I'm more corrupt than original sin. Searching for truth to muddy it's waters. Searching for faith to laugh as it falters. You have your one in trinity.
Not sure what happened here with this 1, but I went to the dark side......damn!. You don't know me.
#nightdwellers. The room is white,. Blank and clear,. No other soul in sight,. No other person near,. The pain still there. And multiple breaks,. My mind gone soul nowhere,.
#nightdwellers There is a man with a million jars. Stacked on shelves as high as the stars. Some contain happiness, filled with hope. Others are depressing, sealed with rope.
