Burning The Ghost

[Sci-Fi]

Burning The Ghost

Alone I sit, darkness surrounds me.
Alone with my thoughts, within my being.
I feel it haunting me, burning my soul
I feel it grow bigger, swallowing me whole

It lives there, thrives there, it knows me, knows my fears
It taunts me, calls to me, it wants to consume me
My soul is its feast, its means of survival
My strength depleted, no longer willing to fight

Ready to give in, ready to surrender
Ready to be one with the darkness
Forever alone
Forever gone

A crack of light pierces the darkness
A figure forms in front of me
The creature that threatens me given life
The creature knows its been revealed

I reach for the light, feeling it burn
I feel the particles of dust ignite
A flame burns in my hand
A flame that gives me strength

I can see it now, in full view
I recognize it, the evil that was eating me
With a flick of my wrist it catches fire
With a final scream it is gone

Alone I sit, no longer in darkness
No longer haunted
My soul is free
I’ve burned the ghost, the ghost of me​

It's a nice poem, but as soon as I read "Forever alone" I couldn't get the meme out of my head X'D
