Overflow of the Dark

the dark left dormant
awaiting it's own awake
hiding in its slumber
only waiting for mental break
resting but watching
aware of what lies ahead
constant growing and all-knowing
never slowing for the dead
a thirst for what is red
and what leaks from the weak
it brings life to the light
and rhythm to a heartbeat
a need to feed
and desire to stay alive
lurking and searching
consumption as its only drive
so until the end
it only grows smarter
feeding on what it can
and slowly becomes darker
