Shadow Guest

You don't know me but I know you.

I remember you from the days of my childhood.

I watched the person you were, the person you tried to hide, and the person you have become.

I've seen the black of your soul; the death and decay you harbor inside.

I will watch as you destroy yourself and everyone around you. No one knows but I do.

No one sees your demons gnashing their teeth and circling you like hunger incarnate.

I do.

I see the way they fight each other for the one, true position of power.

And you, pathetic and weak, allow their charade. You sit quietly like a witness to an approaching doom.

If that is your final decision then a finale it will be.

I once knew you but be assured, I will not remember you in the end.
