Darkness

Once when you feel her cold embrace you never want to let go
She knows every secret you have and whispers them in the night
She watches you from the day of birth to the never ending darkness
When she touches you
You feel the coldness of her touch
She hugs you to sleep and whispers a beautiful melody
You may feel warmth but that's just an illusion
For she is the Darkness and she watches you because
You are her servant
And you’re just a pawn in a never ending game
