Hide Behind Thy Shadows

Isolation

As I sleep, my body becomes colder. I open my eyes to eternal darkness and despair. I feel calm; nothing to bother me. With each passing my breath, I can feel the darkness fall over me. As I lay down on my bed of roses, my skin sinks within the thorns.

I can feel everything fade away, all the pain, all the depression. I forgot to mention, my name is Tamayo. I'm not like other people, the darkness is my home. I sleep by myself, but the darkness is my lover. I touch my cold body and I can feel the sensation.

I bite my lip. I run the fingers up my stomach and I start to breathe heavy. My body starts to develop chills. I put my head back and run my fingers down my leg. My tongue goes across my lips, as my breathe deepens. I close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
