In The Dark

Empty

Lost

Fear clouding your senses

Terror invading your mind

Trembling limbs trying to escape

You scream for help

Only to find you have no voice

Clawing at the darkness

Trying to find a way out

Realization hits you

There is no exit

You hide inside yourself

Your mind goes blank

An emotionless mask is worn

You start to fade

A flicker of light appears

Hope enters your heart

You reach out

A single touch

An explosion of warmth

Flames surround you

                                         Igniting the passion in your soul

The cold façade melts away

Fear is replaced with relief

Loneliness becomes independence

What was lost is found

In the dark

A flame was lit
