The Darkness

It scrapes 

Against the walls

Of my heart 

I feel it's claws 

Dragging 

Slowly 

Down the sides 

As it opens up 

A tunnel 

Into my veins

Seeking

Searching 

For a way 

Into my soul 

This darkness 

Grows 

Within the confines 

Of my chest

Until 

I can no longer breathe 

And I feel 

It take over... 

I am

Overwhelmed....

Until

All I see, 

All I feel, 

All I sense,

Is the dark...
