Smirk

How can one go through life in the light?

Darkness holds her secrets, her desire and her fears

Coming to life at night, the nightmares are very real

Reality is her escape, keeping her sane from all the hurt, pain and tears

Deep in the darkness her emotions rip holes in the fabric of her being

Slow, jagged strokes ripping their way across her skin

No blood comes out beneath the layers because although she's standing here, she's not alive

Her heart beats no more and her eyes are sunken 

Her fingers and toes cold as ice

Underneath the pale blue of her lips lay words unspoken

Keeping her from life, secrets that torment the creatures laying in wait

Her body not decaying, her brain not delaying the thoughts and all of her fears

Paralyzed she stands in the darkness

Not moving, not even an inch

No breath nor sound can be heard seeping

Deep from the underground

Eyes pale, lifeless and looming over everything that lay in the path of her being

Cold, heartless and left for dead

The anger is reaping all in its way

Building and growing fury day by day

Like a volcano it grows

Light has never seen such a fate

Exploding it causes damage to beings around it

More death and more decay 

Her lifeless being still laying in wait

Like a corpse she has no time limit

For years she'll lay there in wait

Slowly you'll start seeing a change

A small smirk graces her face
