Darkness
Darkness is coming all around you.
You fall on your knees
asking for forgiveness.
The darkness is closer
as you scream out in pain.
It starts to surround you
and you can feel it inside too.
It takes over you slowly.
You become someone else
and the darkness is filling your heart.
Darkness is surrounding you
and it controls.
You try to reach out
but all you get is turn away.
The darkness is getting to be too much.
You try to yell
but you cannot speak.
The darkness has taken your voice.
The darkness within
is now all you have left.
You just let it take control
and now the darkness is there all the time.
Darkness has come for you
and you are part of the darkness.
