The Darkeness

Beneath her skin

Was slowly ebbing

Fading, revealing

Her innocence

Tracing her pulse

Deep into the night

She realizes her

Downfall, her collapse

A Deception believed

 Disguised in hues

Seducing her will's

Daydreams

A decaying energy

Driven by mistrust

Fusing doubts into

A deformed reality

That was never hers

Quivers in the dark

Unable to resist 

This promising light.
