Somebody Like You

-Somebody Like You-
by
Keaton Foster



Waiting
Wanting
Somebody like you
I know that you are there
Increasingly near
Unaware
I am quite close
Within my grip
I could hold you
Never to let go
Making you mine
A possession to adore
An unwilling whore
To abuse as I wish
As I deem fit
My sickness won't relent
People like me
Should not exist
But we certainly do
A hellish brood
Doing what it can
To feed an insatiable itch
God could wipe us clean
But he won't
Such goodness
Needs evil
Needs doubt
Without us
People like me
Not somebody like you
Faith would not be needed
Not be required
Everything would be fine
We add what is "not fine"
To the equation of human existence
Something thought minor
Turns out to be major
Light needs darkness
Happiness need sadness
Quality replies of tragedy
Somebody like you
Does not know
Unaware your life grows
Full of the lies that you lead
Overflowing
Bursting at the seems
A fool in a world of beasts
Creatures like me
That wish you only harm
We must take away
What you have
What you wish
Replacing it with
Something quite sick
What that is
I dare not confess
I only will say that
Somebody like you
Will pay
What exactly
Why?
Reasons unrefined
Answers not to be spoken
Part of the allure
Part of the darkness
The whole of nothing
A complete season of ends
Lived one second at a time
I care none for you
And the ridiculousness of your hopes
I wash my hands with your dreams
Of utter darkness I scream
Soon you will see
The nothing that I bleed
These hands are close
Within my grip
All that I wish is
For somebody like you
There is no chance
No escape
Once I have you close
I won't let go…
