Haunted by The Darkness

I close my eyes and darkness enclosed me from all around,

My fears come out to play.

Each night I am tortured,

Each night they taunt me.

There is no relief,

There is no end,

Just an open playground in my mind for them to play.

It gets to where I’m afraid to close my eyes,

Sleep is a prize that doesn’t wash over me anymore.

I’m afraid I’ll get lost in a tunnel of darkness where there is no return,

My soul cries out for a speck of light,

Just a guide to help me through this madness.

I look towards heaven for answers,

I find unseen arms embracing me.

Helping to push back the darkness that has haunted me in the past,

I know that I am not alone.

I know I am protected,

I am loved,

It’s then I realize the darkness will haunt me no more.
