FATHOM

 

He invites you in and pours you wine
He assures of your safety within his lair
He talks to you until your reason has left
and when you finally realize what is going on
Fear closes his arms and claims you as His.
 
You may fight and kick and scream for help
but no one is there to hear you.
You may cry and wail and plead and cry
but his hold becomes tighter
tighter
tighter
 
 
 
Until you can't breathe
 
As you fall into that blackness of Fear
you reach for hands that are not there
you search for the light that is not shining
at the end of this seemingly bottomless tunnel.
 
CRASH!!
You have now entered Fear's dominion of power
 
Total darkness.
 
There is nothing for you to do, except sit
and think...
 
Fear laughs at your pitiful exsistence and the laughs echo in your ears....echoing..echoing.
He tells you your faults, your weaknesses....laughing..laughing.......
You feel yourself beginning to believe, to accept
the darkness becomes thicker and enveloping, you feel your soul begin to diminish....almost totally
snuffed out...and that one spark left begins to blaze anew
 
The Human Spirit is a beautiful thing...
 
and so YOU SCREAM STOP
 
The scream is powerful enough to send Him back to the hell that spawned Him, to gain strength for the
next confrontation.
 
You begin to crawl back to the top...the way become easier and the darkness begins to fade..
A smile crosses you face
 
For you know He will be back...but you in the end will win....
 
the battle for your Soul.
