Darkness

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.
