Darkness
Coming toward to consume me
Moving forward to inhale me
Blinded me so I'm no longer to see
Weaken me so I'm no longer to fight against
Undermining self-affection so I'm
No longer to fall for it
Shattering me so I'm no longer
To be as whole
Using me completely so
I'm no longer to be use
Threatening me with the vows that
I made so I'm no longer to refuse
Deleting me so I'm no longer
To exist in the Cosmos
Suffocating me so I'm no
Longer to live
Ending me so I'm no longer to begin.
