A shell
Right and constricting
Growing tighter
The snail
Trapped within itself
Longing for freedom
And then it broke
But there was only
Another shell
But this one
Was safe
It was warm
The embrace
If this shell
Comforted it
And then it broke
Exposing the snail
To the cold
It was alone
Afraid
Crying for the shell
But the shell
Was gone
The snail
Was left alone
To shrivel up
And die
Alone
I'm the darkness
Forever
