Take Me


Darkness, Black. That’s all I can see. Pain, Cold. That’s all I can feel. Am I living? I must be for the dead do not think. They do not feel. No, I am alive. But then, Where am I? Who am I? Is anyone there? Help. I cried into the shadows. I felt my throat, Raw nerves rubbed against each other. More Pain. Yet I couldn’t hear a sound. Loneliness. Darkness, Pain, Fear. I knew it was there. I knew it was waiting. It was only a matter of time. I begged, I pleaded. Take me; Spare me from this heartless void. Save me from the lightless shadows. End it here, End it now. Take Me.
