i had the oil
to keep the beast
at bay
but rent
rendered that purchase
null and void
so welcome back
my friend
the silence
is to your liking
yes
the emptiness
your domain
the sweet sorrow
falls beneath
your dominion
swaddle me
in your itch
hold me
with the cold dead
truth
did you lurk
behind the scenes
waiting
to pounce
to strike
to steal
the light
