Alone

I struggled tonight.

Eagerly waiting.

For what or whom,

I am too confused to know.

Trying to clasp the tiny wisps of Hope

Forever evasive.

A tangible dread slowly rises,

Bitter, mystic gathering of images

Flash before my eyes.

I'm oblivious to the pain.

Where is my refuge?

Is this the sanctuary I dreamed?

A sudden voluminous velvet of darkness billows in the wind,

I succumb to the blackness.

Too helpless to fight it.

                                                      Emptiness surrounds me like a blanket.

                                                         My sanctuary shatters.

                                                                  I sobbed and sobbed.

                                                                 And outside the window,

                                                                The night is still silent.

                                                                                                                                 ((( august 10.2012.friday.1319hrs)))
