The Darkness
Author: Joshua Bustamante
Description: A simple, philosophical poem describing what a parent would say to their child when they move on with their lives.
The darkness surrounds me
Shrouding me into its cold arms
It envelops me into its everlasting veil
The darkness swallows me
as it steals away my senses and all hope
of longing to leave
How it eats my soul and takes away my life
before my eyes
The darkness blocks out all hope
for me
Trapping me forever
in an avenue of despair
The darkness
steals away my mind leaving me with nothing
except the sound of silence...
