Loneliness had become a part of me;
I’d lost all my will to hope
and let despair consume me.
Dark thoughts infected my mind,
but even more critically, my heart,
telling it isolation was its diagnosis.
Light could not filter too long here
before it was gobbled up and
swallowed deep into this gloomy pit.
I needed someone to rescue me from
this place but all were preoccupied
with their own flickering light.
