Alone in the Dark



Alone in the dark

mutilated, reaching out,

spiraling into the dark abyss

desperately clawing for a lifeline.




Miasma of dreams

snatches of memories,

out of the hippocampus, reeling

drowning the light.




The struggle for life,

grasping, reaching out desperately

at last straws of hope

unfettered and unwilling.




Darkness fades

she comes back to life;

homeostatic, self-therapy

the will to live and shun aloneness
