Darkness
The darkness consumed her thoughts
everything she knew was gone
taken from her, never to return.
All the happiness she had disappeared
nothing but darkness surrounds her
she can barely breathe with no one to help her.
She lays her head down one the cold hard ground
with no way out she knows this is it.
With no one to save her she tries to distract herself
it never works, the darkness is really suffocating.
She closes her eyes and just then a light comes on
she is confused as to where the light came from.
Running to the light, almost out of breath
the light gets closer, it is warm and now she can see.
She looks down at her body all the scars and blood
is dried to her skin but at least they stopped bleeding.
The light shines bright as someone calls out
“Is anyone in here?”
She keeps quiet.
Not knowing how to respond.
She turns away and finds the darkness,
The light vanishes and the darkness suffocates her
But this time instead of fighting the darkness
She lets it consume her,
Leaving her breathless and dead…
Well almost.
