Sunset.
Sweet sunset.
I love to gaze upon thee.
You end the day in a beautiful way,
and carry night upon a dazzling tray.
I feel my troubles from the day fading away
as I examine your display from my window.
The troubles of night soon will take me away
marked by a very violent crescendo.
But, of this I shall not think
lest I sink into the dark swamps early.
Yes, the evil abyss filled with acid and mist.
Where my vision shall blurry and my mind will then twist.
And my rage becomes king and my anger will fester,
and all of my rational thoughts become jester.
And death is an option that seems great to use...
to end all this pain...
but I'm too scared to choose...
So, now, I won't linger on thoughts of near future.
There is still time, so my wounds remain sutured.
But, when this time has passed and the moonlight has set...
The demons will awaken...
and I will again be their pet.
