In my darkness fear and panic flooding in. I wait for a hand in the dark As the night grinds me up. No glimmer of rescue. The darkness is like a heavy blanket weighing me down. Battling it like an angry animal so many endless nights. No tender kindness, no loving embrace. One failed rescuer lost to my heart forever. Offered some comfort attempt. Floating his boat in that harbor of dread. But I am lost at sea, my legs dangle as bait for sharks that tear at my flesh as my life force ebbs from my soul. Cling cling to the rocks the thoughts screech inside my skull....cling or it will swallow you!! Bpeterson

The night swallows you whole
In my darkness fear and panic flooding in. I wait for a hand in the dark As the night grinds me up. No glimmer of rescue. The darkness is like a heavy blanket weighing me down. Battling it like an angry animal so many endless nights. No tender kindness, no loving embrace. One failed rescuer lost to my heart forever. Offered some comfort attempt. Floating his boat in that harbor of dread. But I am lost at sea, my legs dangle as bait for sharks that tear at my flesh as my life force ebbs from my soul. Cling cling to the rocks the thoughts screech inside my skull....cling or it will swallow you!! Bpeterson
