Darker than Black

A heart so burned
So destroyed,
So confused.
That nothing is left
But a blackened hole.

A soul, a spirit
So abused
That every silky inch
Is covered in soot
Blacker than night.

Vivid nightmares
Branded in the mind.
Reliving darkness
So cold, so dead,
The Devil himself
Shudders with contact.

Decaying,
Dead,
Haunted dreams,
Come to life
With images
Darker than black.
