The Dark

I’m the deafening rush of pain 
clinging to life in the darkness
The vast eternal darkness breathing shallow and cold 

I’m the blinding pain beating 
in the shell of your heart 
Pumping emptiness through the hollow veins in your body 

I’m the crushing pain 
living behind your sunken eyes 
Stealing the light that once existed in your fleeing soul 

I’m the roaring pain 
you feel in your lifeless limbs
Destroying the sensations that once swelled in the hands 

I’m the deafening rush of pain 
clinging to life in the darkness
The vast eternal darkness breathing shallow and cold
