Alone

I am in that darkest place of deep despair where the demons of the night play on my greatest fears franticly I search for loving arms to keep me safe but they are gone at times I see a glimmer of hope in the blackness and I rush toward it only to see it flicker and die like match light in a storm My heart is shattered, my hopes dispersed alone I face my fears rejection, betrayal and abandonment the loss of all I once held dear my very existence in question a drama queen I am me no more I am a caterpillar locked in a chrysalis hoping to emerge a butterfly on its final day but for now alone with the creatures of the night
