I feel the darkness slowly creeping in as I cry out for your embrace, but my cries fall on deaf ears. The darkness takes hold… I weep and plead for your attention and affection. Still you turn your cheek and allow the darkness to take hold of me. The sickness that ails me has become my demise as the darkness drags me further into its lair. All I wanted was your embrace, to be held with true want and compassion. Now that you have shunned me so fiercely, I fear this day the darkness has acquired my sanity once more.
