The Darkness.
The darkness swallows me
Inside and out.
It hugs me first
Loosely
Then slowly gets tighter
And tighter
And once I start to feel it
It begins to slowly cover every
Single
Inch
Of
My
Body.
The tears escape my eyes only for an instant
Before I begin to feel it inside
It starts in my stomach
Then my mind
And then my heart
And then my blood.
It covers my body
And suddenly
I can’t muster a smile
Nor shed a tear.
And I realize
This is what I’ve been begging for
My whole life.
This empty feeling
Of nothing.
