Empty Vessel

The wind howls in the mist 
of the midnight hour
As darkness falls upon this
empty vessel of mine
The dark shadow awaits for
the soul that is lost within
Waiting to claim the prize that
he has long waited for

Time slowly ticks as the hours
creep past midnight 
And the smell of burning flesh 
lingers with the midnight air
The shadow holds an hours glass
full of souls lost with in
He holds  a list that holds the names 
of the souls he has to reap

Bringing tears of sadness that
streams down our pale face
The sound of silence strikes 
fear deep within my heart
For death has send his minion 
to claim this soul of mine
To drag me down to the burning 
pit of hell to claim my soul

I can feel the heat that sends
tiny salty drips of sweat 
Slowly dripping down my nose
gently touching my soft lips
The heat slowly burns as the 
smell of my flesh starts to linger
As the blood starts to  slowly drip 
from the pressure deep within

I could hear the screams of 
the damn down below 
Reaching high above to pull me
down to the abyss below
Leaving tiny hand prints burned
deep within my flesh
