The night is half over
Yet sleep is elusive
The night is half over
Yet I lie awake
My breathe comes in sharp jags
Not whole, not partial, just jagged
My eyes are swollen but will not shut
The night is half over
Yet I write

Poetry – The Darkness
The Darkness
The darkness envelops me
It seeps into my heart
Into my soul
With it comes pain and tears
With it pushes out happiness
I fight the darkness
I try to find solace somewhere
I let the tears flow
Even though my eyes are swollen
I fight the pain and sadness
I try to remember the happiness
I feel my grip slipping
But I am determined to hold the grip
Determined to not let go
Yet the darkness comes
The darkness advances
I push with what might I have
I struggle to not let the darkness in
Yet the darkness envelops me
