The Dark

The darkness enfolds me
it binds me to it's will...
it envelopes me
and I am lost... I am nothing...
I am dark!

I am it's slave
it has sapped my strength...My will...
I cry out my pain to the world that is silent

The Dark has devoured my desires,
...My dreams ...
I am inconsequential....I am
lost!

I am paralyzed by it's deadly beauty
I cannot move...
it's grip is too strong
and I yield....
to the dark...
I am nothing...And nothing is me
