Because the dark has engulfed me for years

and I haven’t lived the life I should have,

 alone with the lurking shadows

 and alone with the voices in my head—

because of him,

I know not if I’m even alive

or if I’m dead in the hands of Satan

but perhaps I do live,

 in hell

or perhaps I sleep silently,

perhaps this is all just a dream—

but because of him,

I can’t wake up,

and am tortured with the reoccurring nightmares he shows to me,

 the nightmares that make me scream,

the nightmares that make me sob—

and because of him,

my life has been wasted,

and I pray to god to spare me,

to stops the never ending torture,

and pray that he save me from the shadows

 from the voice in my head,

that he rip me from Satan’s grip—

because he is the reason I have not lived,

 why I scream and sob,

 the nightmares while I sleep

 the voices and the shadows—

He is the reason I am afraid.
