There I was
wandering
down
dimly lit corridors.

Gazing into each room.
Seeking the security
that only your hazel eyes
could offer.

The fear
of your absence
wells up inside of me
as I slip further away.

The seconds seem like days.
A ticking clock echoes in my brain.
Like a hammer hitting steel
over and over.

Frantically
I run through these dark corridors.
Chasing the shadows of my own footsteps
calling your name.


Drenched
in tears
as sweat pours from me
like a heavy rain.

A black smoke
surrounds me
and demons
taunt me.

As I sink to my knees
lost in disparity
I cover my face
turning away from this fear.

Out of these dark halls
a warm glow
reaches over
and touches my soul.

Picking me up
carrying me
into the light
of another day.

As I
drift in and out
I see you
so clearly.
