Darkness Descends

Overwhelmingly,

The darkness descends upon me

With no warning

And no control

I am swallowed up into its grasp

It chews me up

And spits me out

Leaving me hopeless

Broken and a mess

Lost and lonely

Bitter and depressed

When it goes

I am alone in its aftermath

Left to pick up the pieces

Of my shattered soul
