Darkness surrounds you,

laughing at you,

mocking you,

destroying you.

Run.

Run as silver drops fall from your eyes.

Run as fear strips you off your strength,

your courage,

your power.

Stop.

Stop looking for freedom.

Stop looking for happiness.

Stop looking for it all.

End your life.

Sharpen a knife and thrust it into your spark.

Cause yourself to self-destruct.

End your life.

Light.

Warm, beautiful brightness caresses you.

Golden mist brushes your face.

You see that he is the source of it all.

Touch me.

You walk towards him,

feel his hand, feel his face,

touch his comforting warmth.

Nothing.

Hold me.

You wipe your tears,

hold his hand,

then wrap your arms around him,

lay your head on his chest.

Nothing.

Love me.

You back away,

he does not love you.

Slowly,

slowly he fades into darkness.

He laughs at you.

Alone.

Alone once again.

Alone with the shadows.

Alone forever.

You weep.

You scream.

Touch me...

Hold me...

Love me...
