"A Prayer to Destiny"

I despise that for which I hunt. I deplore that which invades my mind. Darkness, be gone! I wish to remain, my love. I fear the gaping mouth that threatens to devour me. It has taken my soul and is after my spirit. It has exhausted me to the point of anihilation. I fight an endless battle and I continue to faulter. My walls crumble beneath the forces against me. I wish not to be prostrate here, my only weapon in hand. I acknowledge my life and it makes me weep. Weep. To weep against the army, the darkness that invades me. I yearn for strength. I want to fight against that which I search. I care not to let it destroy my humanity, my -hood. My love, my love is sweet. Each tear cries my love. I wish to be greater still. To be that which epochs are bound by. Make me infamous without the pain. Make me what I can be and remove me from the life of which I am to lead. I am a humble servant to my life, a life not my own but ruled by one. Destined to travel at the side of my opposite. Let our trails lead in the same direction.

A pointless search for the shadow, never realizing I dwelled within, for I have led you here by mistake. Lead me then. Lead me to the far reaches of the realm. Lead me to the light. Lead me to thy love, my love. Carry me to the shores that I have taken you from.
