Darkness

The darkness closes in , shielding me from the safety of light
My feet tread heavily as I listen
Ears alert, breath held, heart heavy
Yet there is nothing but the darkness

The ever enveloping darkness
With claws to steal at you
With it's breath like ice
And it's tongue slaking at every turn

I feel any amount of emotion
my senses heightened
I fear to look back
For I believe in doing so I will never see light again

What was that? I heard a sound!
The darkness whispers softly in my ears
Beckoning me, hailing me
my footsteps tread heavily

I begin to walk with more haste
Trying to escape the clutches of darkness
For now I fear for my life
Looking back would surely mean I perish

The darkness draws ever nearer
I can see it reaching out
Trying to dispel all my fears
My heart beats with vigour

The hands of darkness are upon me
I seem to be falling into it's depths
It's icy fingers tear at my whole being
Trying to take me with it

It has me now
I am completely engulfed
I close all my senses to the horror of it
It smells of pure evil

With one last thrust
It has taken away my soul
My inner being was my only sanctuary
But the darkness took all

Will I ever see light again?
Or has the darkness invaded my veins
pulsing through me with it's evil intentions?
I feel so very cold
