Screaming in the dark,
I search for what isn't there;
A flicker in the shadows,
A seam in a tear
Desperately grasping for a light,
But in my clutch it burns out
-The expanding darkness chokes me,
Mutes my last shout
Losing myself to it,
I feed the insanity;
The redundant search, find, and loss
The extinguish of another flame once glowing
360 degrees of pitch black
Dizzy from the anxiety
-My eyes strain to find what doesn't exist;
A hope that the light will reach me
My descent into nothing beings.
-A spark reveals itself
A single flame fighting the consumption
-The only hope the darkness left
This dark planet begins to tumble
My last elucidation begins to wane;
Taking in one last breath,
I prepare for the Shadow to inflict its pain
Braced and ready for the agony,
I watch my illuminated soldier again
-I know the Shade will soon inhale me,
Bring about the light's end
My last lit candle continues to fight
I continue my spinning fall
Doomed to this eternal sinking,
I know darkness will soon envelop all
My last candle's glow remains in sight
This bottomless pit of shadows reveals a floor
My last candle's flame continues to burn,
Cutting rays in the blanketing night once more
Once illuminated by a thousand,
Now only one remains
-My last candle burns on,
Just one lonely flame
