Dark

The dark is suffocating.

It's burning my lungs.

A world where deep breaths draw blood,

And no one is loved.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtRK5EDR0g

The dark is calming.

It's like my second home.

It's the only escape I have every known.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2v5FP5QtL

The dark is everything.

The light isn't here.

I've searched forever.

It never appears.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSG0mddaTI

I see a glint, deep in the darkness.

I reach forward, fingertips brushing something.

Something...

A blast of hope.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJspqXiiip
It's bright, it's blinding.

This beautiful white light.

Tears of joy, down my face.

Maybe I'll escape this place.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX7HhisDDI

Hands grasp something solid.

Eyes, wide, moth, agape.

Someone's here to save me.

I feel a hand around mine.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdIzreGBPj

"Thank you!" I scream.

But my cries of joy are smothered by a layer of black silk.

I'm drowning, drowning in light.

Tears, not of joy this time.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKcSq3bWJ8

Blood, dripping.

The hand, slipping.

What now?

Oh god.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbLP7YPxKG

I'm falling.

Back down338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytatW6H9iy

Into the dark.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjKUxWWwcy

Maybe next time.

I'll survive.

Until then.

I'll fight.

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTFv0KkzqN

Feel the blackness

The stagnant air

Hear the voices

Crying in despair.
