It Was a Time of Darkness

It was a time of darkness That shaded me from light Could not recollect a single day But absorbed feelings of night A spark to light a candle To remove unreasonable doubt The temptation was too strong One breath and it was out The smoke would fill my lungs And succeeded to cloud my mind Senses were too weak My sight was going blind The heavy murk surrounding Cold against my skin Sharp edges brushing A thousand pricks of a pin Shivers crawled up my spine As dull as they could wander Gasping for sprightliness  But something pulled me under Nothing and emptiness  Could only leave me heartless That it shaded me from the light It was a time of darkness
