Darkness slowly invades my body,

Ridding me of all emotion;

Blinding and deafening me,

It’s being as vast as an ocean.

Screaming for mercy,

But my pleas suffocated;

The darkness becomes a part of me,

Its power I overestimated.

Panic finally sets in,

With nothing visible in sight;

All I pray for is redemption,

From darkness’ unending might.

I float away gracefully,

Dark waters welcoming my soul;

The flame within now purged,

In a darkness as black as kohl.
