Analysis of DARKNESS IN HER SOUL



Darkness in her soul
Evil guides the actions,
Of this woman from Hell.

The darkness embraces you
Holds you like a lover,
Drags you to your doom.

Darkness welcomes you
With long, shadowy arms,
Drawing you to danger.

A night-black goddess
Sensual, yet evil,
Takes you to ecstasy.

Then down again you come
To the depths of despair,
Cannot live alone.

Only days ago
You hadn't met this beauty,
Now you are her servant.

Smiling with delight
She knows your heart's in her hand,
So she starts to squeeze.

All too certainly
She sucks away all of your dreams,
Leaves you just a shell.

THE END
