It

It is never far enough away, the dark that descends and swims through me. It stole my soul, my joy, my dreams, as it numbed and distorted the sense of my reality. My boy they took, how could I ever describe, ever explain, the feelings that engulfed me on that night? A vow was made to my god high above, and a battle began to wage, so resolute I stood on the precipice of today. Inside I hear the screaming, hear the beautiful babel of my babe, It's haunting, still lingering in the shadows of all my yesterdays.
