Eat this

just a taste

and your dreams will come true

.

little did I know

the druid

was a demon

and I fell

lost

in my

nightmare

.

no eye could behold

no ear could hear

how the darkness

pinned my body

to the fear that

I once knew as a child

.

So captivated by the ever

dying feeling

falling farther

and farther

until I no longer recognized

any part

of my former self

.

I listened

I tasted

and the nightmare flower

made the ever

haunting dream

come true
