Swallowed By Darkness

Darkness calls.


Dare I listen?


Love has fled from me.


 


My hands shake.


The tears glisten.


There’s tremors in my knees.


 


The light fades.


Gloom threatens.


The shadows are closing in.


 


The fear chokes.


My heart beats faster.


Panic is setting in.


 


The light is gone.


The darkness has won.


There is nothing in this place.


 


I long for the shine,


That loving glow,


Of the light upon your face.
