"Agony”

A morbid night in fall
All dressed in white
Eager to find the prey,
And kill them one and all

I try to control the urge
It is killing me from the inside out
Time is running quick and thin
By the sun, I must purge

I can smell her from a mile away
She's easy and weak I can see;
I waste no time in movement
She should've waited until Day

I am frozen straight in my path
She has a hold unbearably gripping
I am taken back to when I was pure
No matter; the urge unleashes its wrath

My emotions tear at me
For reasons I don't know
What monster have I become
To punish those with no plea

I am what people fear of;
Dressed in white as snow
Heart and soul as black as ash
I am not capable of love

Covered in blood I scream
The agony tears at me from the inside out
Not for her, but for me
I am awake to realize it was a dream

If only I knew this wasn't true
Maybe I would find serenity
Something deep within me goes to rest
Only in my dreams to break back through
