the darkness is coming

I’m running

its coming for me and it wont stop

I hide myself

my fears

my thoughts

but still it glides towards me

the darkness it consumes my air

its getting harder and harder to breathe

just breathe

just breathe

the clouds are descending

my life is falling from the edge

I have nowhere to run

nowhere to hide

my only hope is to fall

to drown in the blackness that is searching

so badly for my soul

the darkness it has arrived

the billowing black clouds are forming around me

its suffocating, I’m screaming and fighting

I’m breaking down, I’m falling and dying

I watch for I have nothing left in me but wonder

the darkness is elegant in its movements

something so deadly shouldn’t be this beautiful

everything has slowed my movements have no urgency

the darkness is coming and I have no desire to stop it

accepting the inevitable

the blackness is falling receding away from my life

the air it flows around me

I stand in confusion doubt and longing

the blackness saw something in me that it never thought possible

the dark clouds that descended saw there reflection

only I wasn’t a mirror

they looked into my eyes and saw not love or joy

but pain and longing for that sweet embrace of death

the darkness couldn’t consume my soul

for long before I had already suffocated in the blackness

the elegant clouds surround my life before my time was ever up

I turn away into the night

and I glide

…hunting…
