the dark

I'm alone in the darkness
of this crowded room.
the hand i was meant to hold
is gone without a trace.

even though i'm surrounded
by people...
i am still utterly and mentally alone.

before i know it.
the people have started turning into monsters. the ones from my nightmares.

the light of you that i held in my palm,
fingers intertwined, connecting our souls.
left me behind.

the night caves in, swallowing me whole.

do you know i'm afraid of the dark?
if so...
why did you let go?
