Darkness Poem by Scarlett Voight

I am Caught in a void
of swirling darkness
It consumes everything around me
Unable to see, I blindly
search for a way out
But I can't find it!
Why am I here? What should I do?
These questions run through my head
never stoping, tell there is a single light
I begin to crawl towards it, but cold hands
grab my wrist and turn into iron shackles
I continue to stare intently at the light
Until someone steps out of the darkness
Unable to see the persons face it turns
and walks away
At that moment I understood who it was
I screamed your name,
but you never came
You never looked my way
Just kept walking on
I struggled again to follow you,
but the shackles get tighter with each gasping breath
Then you begin to fade
The light disappears

I am caught in a void of swirling darkness
