The Darkness Almost Did Not Survive This Girl

At times she is so child like, as she plays her games

She loves her reflection in the mirror as she dances,

Smiling and laughing in her joy as if it is all she knows

Convinced she cannot hurt, so she takes her chances.

***

She is extremely full of life, but do not let that fool you

As she is hiding death in the very corner of her soul,

Where it has happily taken up permanent residence

In a dark and dusty corner, waiting to take full control.

***

It is surprising that the dark almost did not survive

As she is the type of girl that could choose to defeat,

You would think it would be the other way around

But do not think for a minute she is nothing but sweet.

***

I remember how often she would explain her true nature

“My heart may be closed, my mind tormented, you see,

But I will not be railroaded into being something I’m not

As I am all powerful, over the world choking me for free.”

***

Surely you are not surprised, yes you know her better

Or have you managed to fall hard, under her love spell,

I know that you’re not naive enough to believe in heaven

But if you’d look into her soul, you’ll soon believe in hell.
