The Maw - Cognitive

I am an empty shell

Destroyed from the inside

My free will gone

My conscious fades

But I still feel everything

I didn’t ask for this

I did was I was told

To no avail

I run for my life

No one is saving me

I feel helpless

My skin is ripped open

And my bones are crushed

As the parasite slips inside

Crawls through my body

Plants points of control

Piercing through my head and face

I fight for my life

Against this monster that has taken over me

The pain

The pain

I’ve lost all control

It has me search for food

And I spot my prey

No

No

The pain

The pain

I’ve lost all control

I am powerless

I see my victim in th corner

My pain is replaced with trror

No

It is my love

Her eyes fill with fear and disbelief

I reach out I try to hold her

It takes over

My eyes won’t shut

I watch her seize

She cries my name

I scream in vain

I can’t stop

Against my will I grab

Her face and grip tight

I rip her jaw apart

Her eyes roll to the back

Of her head

I hear her whimper now

Hushed cries as

I gnaw on her teeth

Her lifeless corpse

Falls to the ground

Oh I’m dead

But in pain

I gaze at my love

What have I done?

This can’t be real

This thing

Inside of me

Has wrought

Agony

I carry on

Memories start to fade

She left this world in fear of me

Please don’t go I have nobody

A roving husk

I have become

Years to ponder what I’ve done

My life

Undone
