A Light In The Dark Poem by Melissa Casteen

As the darkness closes in
and shadows form where light had been
Horned demons hound the scent of sin
and drag their prey to the realm within
the flame

The desperate souls will writhe in pain
while fires rage, no chance for rain
Their screams and shrieks are all in vain
Their tortured minds soon go insane,
a game

The Lake of Fire is taunting me
it invades my dreams and tries to see
if the light I hold inside is free
to devour, so I can never be
the same

'The darkness, ' says the evil beast,
'will taint your soul and demand to feast
until your virtue becomes deceased
and all goodness within has been released
in shame'

Default, O demon from below
'cause the light in me will never go
sin tempts but cannot strike a blow
unforgiven, because the faithful know
His name
