Darkness
by Erin JonesMemories, tidal waves of anguish, flood my mind. Life continues, but I've fallen behind. The darkness is gaining on me, I can feel it. The cold it emanates caresses my back, sends chills down my spine. I've nearly given up, my life has abandoned me, too far out of reach, and the darkness is nearly upon me. I can feel its breath on my neck. Its teeth are sinking into my skin. The madness inside my veins has finally been released. The pressure was building and now it is gone. I have fallen. The darkness envelops my body, my mind, my soul. It traps me within the cold wall of silence, darkness, pain. When the darkness finally releases me, life is gone. 12/02/2007 Posted on 12/02/2007
