the shadow enemy.

The Shadow Enemy.
______________

Deep Within..
I feel an Enemy..

A Shadow
Self which thus
Consumes Me.

Leaving nothing
good behind.

(creating gaps
in Memory.)
_

I woke up
in a strange
place,

wearing foreign
clothing..

With Bruises
on My Face,

and a haunted
sense of
Inner Loathing.

(Absent
from The Light
of Grace.)
____

I Fear Now
Where Tomorrow
might be Leading.

So much
I Battle Sleep.

Enslaved By
This Shadow
Enemy!..

Lurking
Somewhere
in The Deep.

(staining
The Soul
Within Me.)
