The Awakening
Darkness suddenly filled the room
A silence came over me
All I could do is look at the clock
It read half past noon
Walking shadows circled my cell
An outline of a dark angel appeared
He wore a romantic mask
Hiding the evil that I could not foretell
The dark angel embraced me
Covered me with black robes
He reached out to hold my hand
Because in the darkness I could not see
He led me into twelve rooms
Each held the ingredients to mold me into his bride
I did not question
For I thought he was protecting me by wanting to be my groom
Upon leading entering the thirteenth dwelling
An outside light illuminated on a mirror
As I caught a glimpse of my new reflection
Fear overwhelmed me I realized I followed the King of Darkness
I ran to the window of light
And asked if I could come to it
It told me to climb out onto the ledge
And the King of Light will teach me to fly
