Lost in the Dark

Lost in the Dark

In the depths so deep
Lost in a realm of sleep
Subconsciously aware
Lost in all despair 

A sudden cold breeze
A feeling of unease
Awakens all senses 
As your body tenses 

Grappling with your sight
Awakening flight or fight 
In the deepest of gloom 
Within your solemn room

Engulfed by nightmarish fears
Where this abyss appears 
Your imagination runs wild 
This chasm so beguiled 

In the darkness shadows take form
Your eyes deceived from the norm
Mystical, terrifying at the same time
Your imagination in a new paradigm 

Darkness encircles everything 
Of what your emotions bring
Within this twilight so stark
When you are lost in the dark
