Embrace The Dark

Slowly, silently and steadily I walk.
No sound assaults my ears, no necessity to talk.
Nothing on which to focus, no beacon to be found.
No hope of which to cling to, the cold is all around.

I know what has come to pass and I know what has to be.
No dove of hope will fly this day, it's caged and can't be free.

The cold accepted and brought within I slowly make my way.
Emotionless and empty, how did I become this way?

I once existed in the light. I danced I sung I played.
That part of me is buried now, sunk in the quick sand of my brain.

There's no light in the distance, no warm and glowing hearth.
With open arms and furrowed brow, I now embrace the dark.
