Veil of Darkness



Am I really hated that much?

Cold stares

The laughs and points

The quiet whispers

Bloodlust

Wanting me gone; dead

Disappeared from the world

I sit here in the small, isolated, dark room. All I have is a single candle and its small flame to keep me company. Why am I always put in here?

I’m so alone. The only thing to break the silence is my heartbeat beating faster and louder each minute that passes. Sweat droplets roll down my face. Why am I being punished for something I didn’t do?!

The candlelight gets dimmer and dimmer. My eyes begin to play tricks on me. At least that’s what I thought. Monsters, spirits, seem to fill the room. Everyday, images appear in my head, of the one who has condemned me to this fate. It is the person who has condemned me. His eyes; his mouth; his voice, it’s all there. Why?

I don’t know why I think of all of this. A sharp pain stabs me straight in my heart.

His name, it’s like blood and chocolate on my tongue. A bittersweet poison, strikes me, such as a dog strikes its master.

The spirits are circling me, making it hard to breathe. I stumble around the room trying to make these illusions…go away! The light goes out, so does everything else. Like someone pulled a black veil over my eyes. The only thing I can see in the dull blackness is a figure, way off in the distance. I step closer to it. Closer and closer each second. Finally, the figure is close enough I can make out what it looks like. Long black hair, pale-snow white skin. Scars all over its arms and legs. Blood, it stains the virgin whit clothing it wears. The figure turns around. The face, the body, it’s…me! It’s a mirror image of me!



All of these scars and injuries are everything that ever happened to me in my childhood. They’re both emotional and physical scars. It hurts; the pain is unbearable. I used to be able to take the pain, why now? I can’t move. My body has frozen itself, making me numb to everything. My heart is beating ever so slowly. I’m just waiting for it to stop, for the heartbeat to be gone. The shadow in my heart hides away everything I WANT to feel and shows everything that SHOULDN’T be felt. The veil of darkness hides away the reality that it doesn’t want us to know. And only shows the pain and wounds of the truth.
