The air so thick with blackness
A knife could slice it through

The mind shrouded in darkness
Any light would snuffed be too

The soul enchained in sadness
Crushing fetters of grief so blue

The spirit doused in coldness
Icy grip of memories, tis cruel

Dark night of my soul's distress
Sunrise, nay none in view.

My world of obscure somberness
No glimmer, no ray, no dew.

My unending  night, comfortless
my constant companion you

Never you left me friendless
My dark night, ever so true.
