The darkness is here
to engulf me in.
To chew me up,
to swallow me in.
It tied me in chains
as it swept around me whispering chaos,
Eclipsing the lights and shaping into my fears.
To see my stars,
I twist and I turn.
To free myself of the chains
is what I yearn.
Inch by inch the lights begin to fade
Now I'm in the darkness,
none to my aid.
