To The Shadows

        The darkness e'er enclosing
To the shadows I whispered
Breathless voice, echoing off the cold, damp stone
Droplets, timing my life
Drip
Drip
Drip
Liquid chronology running through the cracks
As to my knees, I fall
The shroud of darkness closing in on me
Silence screaming back at me
Such monotony in nothing
Claustrophobic emptiness
Drip
Drip
Begone! Thoughts of ill fate
Leave me alone in my liquid inferno
As burning tears run
The darkness e'er enclosing
To the shadows I screamed
They answered
Drip....
