Darkness

I sit in my lonely world, contemplating the life that is left before me

The 16 years of my life that have passed are gone

The years to come have yet to arrive

What have I left now?

Nothing…

The pain of the past haunts me evermore

The renewal of life leaves me once again.

As the light does pass, the dark does return once again

But whereforth come this light of the darkness?

Do I see a light within the darkness itself?

Is there light? Or is there darkness? Is there both?

Never…never could this happen, never could this happen.

Awake now, gasp for the breath of light

Exhale the darkness once again

And now we return to the darkness that has held lives for all of time.
