penance

in the perfect dark, a botticellian angel exists, the elusive partner puts her key in my hand, a fairly simple gesture, shrouded in evil, as she distorts, it becomes easy to understand, lost in her piercing eyes, as everything around me, dies, well, can you make the nightmares go away, can you pull the demon from inside?, will penance make the nightmares go away?, and save me from this endless night, in the choking dark, i try to move, i'm unable, a hundred thousand moving creatures, tickle my flesh, i feel the heat, it's getting harder to breathe. i feel the panic taking hold, for i'm beginning to understand. the only way i'll be saved, is if someone breaks into my grave, don't need it, don't want it, no more sedation, no more sedation, don't need it, don't want it, eradicate this endless aching inside,
