The Door

Last night… When I closed my eyes I saw a long black hallway And a white door in the distance Illumined only by faint candlelight Which flickered desperately Against the oppressive darkness I walked alone towards the door But with each step it receded Its shape shifting into shadows My vision blurred by panic and tears I stood paralyzed by despair Until I vanished into my own night
