1 – Dark

(Jack)

Welcome to my darkness, Jesse. Stand still.

Let me look at you. Your reluctance is

Very appealing. That’s what we all want.

It’s what I need to capture. That fragile,

Uncertain look in your perfect blue eyes,

An innocence that people will just want

To possess, to crush. I’ll give it to them.

I am God, shaping you in golden clay,

Sculpting my masterpiece. You feel my hands

Pressing that delicate throat and you know

How easily I could silence you, how

Cruelly I could shatter you. But do

Not fear me. Fear only yourself. When I

Make you shine the darkness will be complete.
