Darkness

A dark pathway will lead To the light I’ve been told… They have said it will lend itself To a flickering heart. But I’ve been in that hallway; I’ve lived in the dark. But never have I Seen such a light. I crawl in the black- The blackness of night Hoping too much For an invisible light. A light which will save me From the darkness within. The malignancy spreading And the whisper of “soul.” I have not a spirit, nor a person within. I am not controlled by a god Nor a heavenly body I simply live- In a dark, stormy world Devoid of a shining light. And yet I still wait For brightness to come. A temporary answer To impatient death.
