Awakening in the Dark

Like a crepuscular leviathan arose
from the blind harrowing depths so cold.
A sinister ghost growing, glistening
hollow lure of a disease out of time.

As a sightless worm, as a maggot gnawing
at the core of this leprous mimickry
of life, seemingly endless but long gone
with the persistence of blind visions.

Awakening in the dark
In a place devoid of all hope
Awakening in the depths
Into a cruel existence without end
