An all encompassing haze 
The air is thick with this smoky aroma 
I'm trapped in its grey thickness

It's suffocating
Each breath filling my lungs with black, sooty
hopelessness

The fog is so thick and heavy
Shrouding me in its cruel embrace
Weighing me down

I'm completely lost
Neither here nor there

I've surrended my hand to this devil
My soul joined with his in an unholy union

I've become a slave to his game
This conniving master of destruction

I plead for mercy
I crave redemption
I'm begging for salvation

It's too late

The fog suffocates me
I'm struggling to breathe
I realize fighting is futile

So I finally submit
The smoke fills my lungs

My body goes limp
I become numb

I sigh with relief
And finally let go

The devil chuckles quietly
Staring at me through lifeless eyes

He leans in close
His sooty, oily stench wafting through my nostrils

He whispers triumphantly in my ear
"Welcome home...I've been waiting for you..."
