the night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, cold and alone are we.
the light for which you petition
flares once, then dies,
consumed by the all-encompassing dark.
all hope must surely perish.
your soul flourishes no more.
how could this have happened?
our dark emotions surround us, crying,
we are now adrift.
