closing out the darkness

by Antwan Fields - Aries

the sunlight fades, to think of the world left behind
hands over ears, the doubts begin to grind
i stay away from the closing, to praying im not posing
to wondering what the hell i just did
seeing the darkness rise like a tidal wave
makes me realize that im lost only you can save
i realize my pain has magnified and i am rent open and i cry
no one can hear me i wait to die
i see a wave of blackness about 150 feet high
i cover my eyes and hear a thundering sigh
then i jump behind the door and slam it shut screaming
i see the shadows and hear the infinite gleaming
the buoys in the harbor stop ringing and then i fall
i am numb, feeling nothing, nothing at all.
