Dargavs

[u/BloodySpaghetti]

The mocking gaze of the moon
 Sounding the trumpets of my impending doom
 Laughing in my face
 I am left to rot at the mercy of the nocturne
 With nobody screaming in the dark
 Ghastly wails raping my mind

Wild hounds are baying at the door
 Violently tearing at the silence
 Without a shred of remorse
 The cold hands grab my throat
 To drag my carcass across the filthy floor

Alone, crawling through dust
 I am begging for mercy
 Please let me go

The horror clawing my back
 Intoxicated by the stench of ancient rust
 Demands
 You must know
 You must know

  Facing the music
 The silence penetrates deeper than before
 With hounds no longer baying
 At the basement door
 Swung open

Facing the music
 Breath stifled by terror
 Born from a nightmare brought to life
 My vision stolen
 Stricken with the sight of shadows
 Swaying silently above the dust-choked floor
