Malevolence v2.






"Malevolence"  
In the darkness that lingers   
around us all   
there exists something  
that tempts us,  
chooses us,  
and crushes us,  
inside a paradox of sweetest things.  

It knows  
when you think of it  
and pounces its whole existence  
at once  
to where ever welcomes it.  

It sits in your room  
waiting patiently  
looming ever closer  
as your mind wanders towards it.  

Knowing the very moment  
to engulf your reality  
overwhelming your mind  
in horrors  
you never wanted to see.  

It grants you  
that all you know  
has some truth  
for that would be your proof  
to believe,  

Because in all that was misleading  
in its words  
there would be a base  
to fake its truth to you.  

As your strength falters  
nothing you knew  
would hold true  
when the temptations  
finally overwhelmed you.  

You would never know  
you gave in so long ago  
before this moment,  

A failure it knows all too well,  
And savors on the taste of it.   

Beginning again  
your own demise  
behind your tired eyes  
of a few moments before  
you so blindly gave away  
all that was of worth,  

Its words have burned  
through your soul  
tearing apart  
your mind  
leaving the shell of a person,  
lifeless and hollow.  

A person who will never understand  
all they wanted to know.  

A person in eternal damnation  
of their own making,  
burning in the fires of misery  

Never knowing the lies  
were the the only truths  
they realized.
