My Job

Day

Plunging into sheer darkness

A night that reigns victory

Presented itself unbidden yet brazen

Miles and miles within my eyes

Covered by nothing but black

Pages and pages of ebony word

Accounting for each and every misty fallen

Anyone would have waver at the very thought

Of a night that comes and inhibits their homes for a decade

Light

Absence not felt nor seen

When the eyes gaze upon nothing

But rooms and rooms of solid dusk

Gleaming cold shivering through a century of evil

Fear overcoming every shred of warmth

Marking the end that couldn’t have come sooner

Devoured souls shrieking within dead shells

Let me vanish, evaporate in this glaring eternity

For I cease to exist in your presence
