Return

Shackled to a wall
Only pain in sight
Eyes straining to see
In this darkest night
A familiar cold voice
Echo's the halls
Continuously growing louder
With each second that draws
It peers through the bars
At this broken man
Unable to speak
Or even stand
A grin spreads over its lips
At what it now sees
"This is what happens
When all you know is me"
My heart lurches
Thinking of what I lost
Tears well my eyes
Knowing what this creature has cost
It reaches out
Grasping for me
The cold washes over
As I silently scream
A cruel cackle
Rings all around
As it turns to leave
Gliding across the ground
It pauses a moment
My body jars
As it speaks once more
"I will not be far"
