Darkness
He loomed from the depths of hell
He swam from the ends of the earth
He screams,
He dies,
He trails me,
He is darkness
He came so suddenly, he came so quickly
He creeped upon me without a sound
He grabbed me without warning
He is darkness, He is death
The darkness that lurks within me
It is no normal darkness
It is one of immense pain and hurt
I do not wish it to be apart of me,
I was born with it, it is within me
The darkness did not bloom because of pain,
But because of seclusion
I secluded myself from the love that was around me,
And I fell into a pit, a pit of abyss
A pit of darkness, a pit of depression.
