Midnight at the Crossroads

I looked at the clock dreadfully,
it was nearing the midnight mark,
I knew that time was running out,
soon there’ll be a dark dialogue

And his eyes were
dying embers

“You meet him there, I’m sure you’ll see
his snaking shadow disappears,
he will stand there with an hourglass,
will wish that you were never born”

And his words as
smooth polished glass

I met him there a year ago,
I requested retribution,
when you have nothing to lose or
to live for, you cease to feel fear

And his promise
as sure as rain

I thought of fleeing, being afar,
but can I change my dreadful doom?
I present my soul to him now,
At the cursed crossroads with one path

And then he laughed-
