Darkness, Take Me
Thursday Sep 9 @ 10:26pmAs I lie awake
I pray, darkness, take me.
Dreams that chase me
to the cruel dawn
of inevitability.
One last breath
is all I ask.
I cannot dream but nightmares-
with shut eyes and a
thumping heart.
Haunted by images
of a past that
could have been.
I am but a wasted
life with no desire
to attempt redemption.
So, I pray, darkness, take me.
Let the angels decide
my fate, another shattered
soul knocking at
the gates.
