The shadow loomed around..
Smirking silently..
Sitting patiently..
Darkness spread it's wings..
Sharpening it's claws..
Making it's presence felt..
As the night grew long and cold..
Voices whispered ominous words..
Hatred burnt inside..
Flames engulfed the heart..
Tears fell like fire.. burning the skin..
Burning the core..
Memories danced around..
Like lightning flashes..
Tormenting the soul..
Silent screams howling
Looking at the open hole..
Only the mind fought alone..
Relentlessly..
Trying one last time..
Before time ran out..
Before it fell victim to the dark..
As the battle continued..
Through the night..
The horizon slowly decked up in crimson hues..
The first rays of sunlight peeped from behind the curtains..
Gently falling over the tired face..
As the cold brown eyes stirred in the warm embrace..
A peaceful smile spread across the face..
A battle finally..
