Haunting..

Standing right beside you today, this very day
In reality, who knows, can be miles away
One story and other and other piling up without your consent
He gonna take it all away, just when you least expect
A conspiracy of the odds, where you poor helpless soul is being greedily dragged


An ecstatic odyssey with no specific beginning and end
Caged in some abattoir you feel, lost, nowhere to go, abandoned
Piercing and blazing right through your soul, he still stands there, unabashed
Evil, seeing everything turning out just the way he wanted, cackled,
Is it solely his fault, who knows, or perhaps, he is equally slaughtered! 


P.S: I tried this dark mysterious stuff first time ever. It's not that I'mma upset or something, instead I just wanted to experiment a different forte. Will be eagerly waiting for your views/criticisms.
Check out, "Sweet Sacrifice" by "Evanescence"
Have a good one, mates! :)

  13. Throughout the post, you make me believe that the one standing there is not good, inflicting harm on her, not caring one bit. And then, you dash all my viewpoint to pieces with the last line. What if he's as devastated as she is, maybe even more.

    Beautiful post, keep writing, exploring new dimensions. A beautiful venture.

    Cheers,
    Blasphemous Aesthete

  19. "Or perhaps he is equally slaughtered", the last line stole the show. :)

  20. The last line won me...
    There is nothing like white and dark, I believe, it's just a shade of grey..
    the pain, and the addiction of it, go together
