The walls are torn down and I tremble
The floors all start to fade
Reality blurs and I stumble
And the darkness begins to invade

A thin trail is left to follow
But all too last it is gone
The last of the light fails to linger
And the darkness has swallowed the Dawn

Black as ink and so quiet
Not a sound can I hear as I walk
My eyes can see nothing before me
And the darkness itself seems to stalk

Fearless Im not, but I walk now
Through this cruel maze of the night
Each footstep I take sounds so empty
And the darkness hinders my plight

I yearn for the night but its gone now
Who knows if it will return
My eyes dont see, but I walk on
And the darkness remains here to burn

The Darkness

Fearless Im not, but I walk now
Through this cruel maze of the night
Each footstep I take sounds so empty

I yearn for the night but its gone now
Who knows if it will return
My eyes dont see, but I walk on
And the darkness remains here to burn

This is a great read. The wording and imagery just fits and there are some awesome lines throughout. A piece full of intrigue and outside the box. Great job
