Engulfed by darkness.
A swirl of emotions
Fueling your descent.
The weight of an object
Can never compare to
The weight of dread,
Of the inevitability
You know as despair.
There is no angel on your shoulder-
Just an endless black fog
Welcoming you into its creep.
Inching along,
Swaddling you and sprawling
Across this flat ground.
Invading hearts and minds
As you breathe in the night.
