The Darkest Night Has Come<\/p>\n
Another day has come and gone.
\nI am sitting here in the dawn.
\nThe sky is brightening out the window.
\nBut, there is no light in me to kindle.
\nSomething happened the other day.
\nSomething that didn\u2019t quite go my way.
\nNow I have faded from dark to black.
\nI am not sure if I am coming back.
\nI took a trip to the demon world.
\nNot by choice, but in a whirl.
\nI was pulled down by no choice of my own.
\nWhile I struggled and could only moan.
\nIt went from dark to the blackest black.
\nI had no idea where I was at.
\n\u201cIs someone there?\u201d I screamed real loud.
\n\u201cMy kingdom for a Duracell\u201d, acting proud.
\nGlowing red eyes appeared to me.
\nA voice as deep as deep could be.
\n\u201cYou are responsible for Kronos!\u201d, it said.
\nI thought I was going out of my head.
\n\u201cYou will write more about him.\u201d
\nThis has got to be a nightmare whim.
\n\u201cThis is real. You will obey!!\u201d, it said.
\nI knew I was in way over my head.
\n\u201cKronos is dead and now in hell.\u201d
\n\u201cOh,— we know that very well.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat can I do about that?.\u201d
\n\u201cYou\u2019re the author, just bring him back.\u201d
\nDirected by demons to bring back Kronos?
\nWhere this is leading, no one knows.
\nWas it all a dream,—- or was it real?
\nTo bring Kronos back would be a real spiel.
\nSo I sit here in the gloom.
\nTrying to come up with something soon.
\nThis blackness must be lifted off of me.
\nMaybe then I will be able to see.
\nCould this all be a spell by Kronos?
\nSpelling his very creator,— almost?
\nIt seems that this will never end.
\nSo, you may be hearing of Kronos again.<\/p>\n
