Darkness

by Leandia Fortner   May 16, 2007


I am afraid of the dark,
The dark that surrounds me even when my eyes are open,
My feet carry me through this desert of black,
The stars that shine above bring me comfort,
A comfort that I need, that I seek, that I long for,
The shadows make me weary,
Uncertainty - it seeps up through the ground engulfing my body - sering my breath

I feel a stranger in my kingdom,
This loneliness offered on a platter of betrayal,
stalking me,
I wonder what's, what? who's real?
I've never felt so confused (disoriented),
SO EMPTY
