Darkness engulfing everything
The light is devoured
The candles don't flicker anymore
The candles cannot be lit
Rain soaks through
Numbness overflows everything
Cold winds stabs every surface
But no pain can be felt
Scars create a new shell
The past always visible
Entwining with the future
Not distinguishable
Choking on the smoke
Insides burning
There's no way out
There's no light around
Being chased by the past
Facing no future
The storm escalates
The exit dissipates
Too many people are in the storm
Too many people are trapped by the storm
The darkness engulfing everything
All of the light is devoured.
