Dark Portals

Oh you dark portals
You awful sheets of darkness
Plaguing my mind and feeding on my fears
You know my heart
You know what lurks beneath the surface
And show me in all vividness
That which keeps me up at night
Haunting my dreams

How mundane and powerless you truly are
Yet keep me at bay
Living in perpetual uneasiness
Constantly reminding me of your presence
Constantly refreshing the long held fear
Holding onto the childish insecurities
Kept alive by a foolish imagination
And a adept sense of horror

Someday your sway on me will falter
Your tight grasp will loosen
Freeing my soul of your constant torment
Allowing me to find the light
Shaking free the restraints of the night
Someday I will win back my mind
Banishing you to the twilight
Never to quicken my pulse again
Someday...
