Surrender

Darkness prowls
scratching at hopes fragile barriers
Deepening footsteps
treading the perimeter of consciousness
Parrying with such pathetic defences
Walls closing in
crushing my heart as they implode

There is no hope
all is lost!
There is no light
all is lost!

Feasting upon my soul
stuck within its stony grasp
Fibres of my being
torn apart by cruel incisors
Surrender to the crawling dark
relinquish life
Surrender to omnipotent despair
relinquish light

There is no hope
all is lost!
There is no light
all is lost!

I depart
