I am the ever-stretching night.
Blanketing the world and driving out the light.
I am the dark skies suffocating the stars.
Destroyer of warmth and all that is good.
I am the part of you that cannot be burned away.
Festering beneath the soul and laying within your bones.
I am behind every corner and crack.
Seeping into the scars and crawling beyond reach.
I am the first and final embrace.
Holding you as I haunt you for all time.
