Gone was the sun,

Pitch black sky, thick air

Emptiness crept upon me like an old friend:

Follow me young one, don’t be afraid,

No breathes,

Eyes glistened in the distance,

I stepped,

Or maybe I just didn’t,

I succumbed to the night,

The intoxicating feeling of sadness,

The cruel tears fell down, burning my skin

Ow. each tear fell with shame

I ran and I ran,

A trail of tears left behind,

I ran until my legs collapsed,  I ran until-

Darkness

Ringing

Pain

The night came to me

It surprised me, I yelled

It hushed me, like a mother to a child,

The children of the world were asleep,

Nothing was left but to surrender to the darkness

Eyes closed, body numb, I lay there allowing the night to engulf me

No more pain

No sadness

Monotony lost its best friend

The crescent moon joyfully welcomed me, that night it shined its brightest

From the lune I admired the stars

I dreamt lucid dreams, 

In my sleep I jumped, I jumped to touch the stars,

But I fell.

Fell.

Fell.

Fell.

I fell to the light
