Darkness

Hello darkness my old friend, I see you have come for me once again. To drag me away to horrors unseen as the night begins the evening, And though I claw and fight to return to my precious light and call out to those who will grant me power. I am met with silence in this twilight hour yet as time moves forward ever changing I find the shafts of mercy shrinking and your cold grip tightening. destiny in its infinite wisdom has dealt me a cruel hand as time shifts like loose sand in my grasp and the eyes of the shadows lock me in their piercing gaze. still I fight and crawl hoping anyone will answer my pleading calls yet as the darkness encloses all around the headset lays silent without a sound.
