Sharp Darkness: A Dedication to my Friend’s Redemption in the Final Hour

As I lay secrete in the corner of a dank room

The surrounding Darkness prowls towards me,

          Suffocating

I am deserted-

Void of all protection

With no thanks to the lonesome hall

The Great Shadow harrasses me to glance around

Until my blurry and failing sight stumbles upon what hurts the most

A broken record whose shattered fragments form beautiful knives

Proposing to help squelch the hissing pain

Right here within this solitary hall

So enticing, yet something small within scolds me; I cannot go back-

Yet the choking Darkness does not relent but persists,

Pressing me to look at my isolated estate

For no one cares to join me

And I begin to dart across the desolate hall

With every room empty and no knock answered

I begin the unbearable journey back to my dark cave

To accept my final fate

          An escape

From my empty existence in this dreary hall

I pick up the warm blade and arm for destruction

Until suddenly a shimmering hand emerged from the black,

A sunshine piercing through my moon's eclipse,

Shouting out the open words to my secret novel,

Cradling me with the love of an eternity

As it joins me in what once was a companionless hall.
