Dark

Murky

Smothering

Blackness

All around

Cold icicles trickle down

Darkness awaits

Awaits to claim fate

Arms slowly encircling

Can't stop searching

No sound falls

Can't hear the calls

No screams heard

Not one piercing word

Fierce winds howl

Can't hear the hoots of the owl

No stars in the sky

Nowhere to hide

Blackness

Darkness

Everywhere

Nothing but total nothingness
