Creature

Part 1

He bordered the abyss

Of my deepest dreams

He drew lines so that I

Innocently cross

Every door opened by him

It was an invitation

And a stolen soul,

On your back

His faithful creature rested

The rotten reflection of your flesh

That was no longer a dream,

I was walking through that everyday

Trying to know if it was real

Trying to ignore the danger

Which I had embarked on

Begging not to be tempted

I mixed that environment

And without wanting to be part

I was able to contemplate one more time

That stranger and his faithful creature

I could see them better too,

The stranger bordering the tallest tower

From that dismal castle

He had long hair

Black as a morbid wish

And a discreet smile,

Your creature, on the other hand

Had the demon's sympathy

And I soon realized that I couldn't

Confront your gaze

Or your relentless carnage,

I hesitated

And for a brief moment

I felt betrayed by my sensations

I looked around

To realize the obvious,

If that wasn't a dream

I feared it was the reflection of my soul

My mind was slowly dying

I longed for an escape valve

A comfort zone,

But a delusion was all I had left

I burst into tears and swam for hours

In that unguarded sea,

On another occasion

That would have completed me

Taken my essence

On another occasion

I would gladly drink my tears

Just to venture successfully

In that impending nightmare,

But the occasion was not part of that scene

And your creature just made sure

She flew over me

The wind from your wings threw me to the ground

And the last thing I felt

It was your face in front of mine,

Your unusual breath

And your claws dig into my heart

Now, what was a castle

It turned a sepulcher to my eyes,

The stranger became a blur

The shadow of what he really was inside

And my imagination

It kept on flowing and flowing.

Part 2

I wake up scared

With blurred vision

My head is a whirl

Of unfocused memories,

Apprehensive, I try to breathe slowly

While some details

That fateful dream

They start to run through my mind,

Tears spring from my eyes

Exaggerated hiccup

Trying to regain consciousness

To take control

Totally free from lethargy

I notice the blood on my robes

And the deep cut in my chest

About to lose control again

I swallow to dry that pain

I wander aimlessly out of me

Taken only by emptiness

My soul was gone and only the bark was left

That sumptuous creature

It took more than my sanity

I remember your despicable look

And his dark quack

With total clarity

An uncontrollable shiver

Run down my spine

I feel again

The creature's unusual breathing

This time on my neck

I dare to turn

But running seems more obvious

I run desperate

Taken by a foolish desire

To save me from this hell

I want to drown the pain

Overcome the hatred of my heart

Annihilate all this madness

My mind is now a flap

Sewn to other scraps

And I, a living patch of the creature

Trapped in this black world

Stuck in it like a stupid irony

And with only one last hope left

Wake up, if the creature allows it.

Part 3

Waking up is no longer an option

I hear the creature's quack in my mind

She follows me, she has me at her mercy

Just like that stranger

That verged on my deepest dreams

He was not just a beautiful immortal

It was the cause of everything

I was there because I was attracted to him

However, he was a slave

Just as I am now

There must be something even more morbid

That attracted you too

We are prisoners of darkness

In this dark universe

In our darkest dreams

We are even our own shadow

We dress with her, we cover ourselves with her

And the creature feels this complicity

One look at us is enough to know

That we were made of darkness.

Part 4

We got involved

In our song for hours

It was such a constant melancholy

Such absolute darkness

That made us delirious

I felt the hands of my immortal

On my neck and just remembered

Of the creature tearing me apart

No security could leave

The one who had attracted me

But the reality that we created there

It made us accomplices

We were chased and cornered by the creature

While the bitter symphony of his quack

It numbed us with fear

Our song was getting more and more distant

And our link was doomed to fail

I wish from the bottom of my heart

If only one remained

I would feel it from the bottom of my soul

If only there was room for it

Our mind flowed madly

While the creature swam in our subconscious

The music started again

And my immortal involved me

For a few more hours of melancholy.
