Standing in that corner
The shadows dancing ‘round me
Like butterflies sent by the devil
Like dark waves by the sea.

I tremble and I shake
The cold seeping into my bones
Like a sponge soaking up water
Like darkness oozing from the unknown.

Icy fingers reach for me
I feel myself sinking deeper into the darkness
Dying inside
Fading away and expecting less.

I don’t want to die
but then again I do
I don’t want to disappear
I want to be erased forever

My existence is what
A pitiful game
Of life and feelings
Of pain and the untamed.

No...
But no...
I’m not quite done yet.
