Desiring a Crack In the Darkness

Black coldness surrounds me Following my every step It moves with me Through a world of light Never allowing it to ever enter But I know it is there The lightness is there Unable to reach my heart I only wish and pray That a crack would form It only need be infinitely small No wider than a hair Creating a prism of color Giving me a second of a dream A dream of something, someone to desire Yet even that second would fade And my life My sad excuse of a life Would once again be surrounded Surrounded by the black coldness of despair
