Darkness

Cold, lonely nights
So dark with no lights
So eager to see, what lies beneath me
Thoughts filled with fear, unknown what to hear
Darkness crawls upon my soul
Body shivers while thinking about empty thoughts
So scared breathing in the poisonous air
I pray to god whispering under the warmth of my breath
Hoping a light will appear out of nowhere
Hearing my heart beating louder in my chest
i see a light twinkling in the far west
