I sat in

The dark

Waiting

For the light

That never comes

As clouds of sorrow

Covered the sun

Held captive

By self imposed bonds

I walked

A solitary path

Championing myself

Unbelieving

There was something

More

Stubbornly

Refusing to admit

To needing

Or

Even wanting

Then quietly

In the dark depths

Where no mortals walk

A voice compelled

Commanded

Softly summoning

And I crawled

Into the black abyss

Grateful

For shelter
