Mask of Silence

There was a certain darkness, to his very core.

When most all had satisfaction,he always wanted more.

He would not and he could not, ever get his fill.

No matter what it cost him,he would always want more still.

Time came and went my good sir,it seemed that it was ever.

It never was enough my friend,it really wasn't......never!

His appetite kept growing,no matter what he did.

And he just kept on eating,like with candy and a kid.

With knives and guns,he killed them all.

'Cept for the ones he strangled.

He loved his name, 'Dr.Death'.

And the people, that he mangled.

Now Freddy-like,he invades my sleep.

The thoughts I have, buried deep.

He preys upon, my imagination.

Makes me to run,from damnation.

I think of all the moms and wives.

Left without their sons, and mates.

Husbands,fathers,and " just boys" lives'.

No proms or summer' dates.

I thought him gone,all these years.

Thought him washed away with tears.

Forgiveness, that....he won't ask.

So for the world....I wear this mask.

I go about my busy-ness,smile upon my face.

My mind awash in dizziness,try to keep the pace.

The night rolls in on me,I really have to go.

Watch out!...Where am I? You might want to know!
