The dark keeps finding me

The harder I try to run away

The darker it gets; intensely

The darkness surrounds me

No hands can be seen, reaching

No shoulders to hug, embracing

Voices get lost, aimless echoes

And silence sits across from me

I can feel it killing me, tonight

Suffocating me inside its deep

Like tar the night hides me

Without stars to guide me

My mind has woven a spell

And I will die here in my hell
