The Collective Abyss

That deep sunken feeling
 
In the dead of night.
 
The darkness looms into my bones
 
Walking down the corridor
 
No light in sight
 
Following the path with weak fingertips
 
No end it seems.
 
Shallow breaths
 
Denying fear
 
Not sure when this will stop.
 
I'm beaten down
 
And alone
 
My silent screams echo into my soul
 
Empty
 
Eyes blinking into the abyss
 
The shadows swallow me whole
 
The waves of the deep dark sea
 
Emotionless
 
My beingness
 
Forgotten
 
This is the dark night of my soul...
