foolish and weak,
i let the dark roamed in me.
they ran through the empty hallways,
leaving none untapped.

memories once held so dear were engulfed,
i forgot the times when joy were nuff.
and all bad ones stayed behind,
the ratio now all to none.

i sometimes wonder why am i like this,
should i blame my first curiousity,
or was it simply myself?
could it be stopped, or was it fated for
things to turn out this way?

one by one the lights were slowly extinguished,
a pitch black darkness covered the entire place.
my face seemed normal as the eyes of public passed me by,
little did they know i was drowning inside.

the last candle stood in the way,
the only one with a name.
it was fighting the dark that came its way,
slowly losing out until today.
