Queen Of Darkness

 

When you’re afraid

Or bleeding and in pain

She comes.

She heals the wound

On the surface at least

But don’t look deeper

 

For hers is a bitter cure

That destroys to save

It’ll ease your pain

Even as it kills you

It’ll cost you everything

And some more besides

 

Refuse her treatment

Grit your teeth

Be strong.

Don’t take the easy way out

A simple death

That hurts more than the pain it cures

 

She’ll take your nightmares away

And replace them with new ones

She’ll make you see theings clearly

Only to distort your view

She’ll catch you

Then throw you down

 

Don’t trust her

Though its tempting to

When you’re hurt

And needing comfort

Remember that the price is dear

Its more than you can pay

 

Turn away

When she comes to see you

Don’t look at her pretty face

For underneath the mask she wears

Is nothing

For what devil needs a face?
