The Deep Dark
By Asteria

It's dark
I can't see
And even as I dreamt a dream
Of a sublime thing
That I could only wish
Would stay in my grasp
As I lash around
Trying to escape my fates grasp

And its cold
Or so cold
As I close my eyes
To escape that sting
Of the dreaded thing that surrounds me
As I hold my breath even as it stings
From the burning in my lungs
From the lack of the of the now so beautiful thing I breathed everyday

And that sweet fresh air now seems but a privilege
As the burning in my lung became insufferable
And it all started to fade to nothing
I could no longer feel the cold
Of the burning in my lungs
I could only hear a deafening ring
As my vision fades to white
As I realized the sickening truth-
That I had left my life all too soon
