The Prolonging

As you descend I shall rise
Your demise shall be my conception
Your failure shall be my triumph
I shall feed from your decay
Your despair shall give me strength.

As you degenerate I shall prosper
Your misfortune shall make me jubilant
As you suffocate I shall breathe.

Repressed your own mortality
Drunk of pitiful delusion
I shall be your parasite
Born from your imbecility.

I shall tie your mortal limbs
I shall invade your thoughts
I shall belittle your aspiration
I shall obliterate your hope
I shall break your will
I shall devour your flesh.

As you perish I shall live
You shall drown in my contempt.

Drained of life and all emotion
I shall be your eternal foe
I shall expose for ridicule
Your designs for your salvation, liar.

I shall feast on your misfortune
I shall remember all your lies
Truth has never been of essence
As you devised your fallacies, liar.

As you deteriorate
I shall create my kingdom
As you sink into waves of darkness
I shall find my brightest light.

As you perish I shall live.
