the unknown

that dark corner is growing,

without form,

consuming everything,

taking away the gift of sight,

in exchange of fear.

i am chained,

my body no longer serves me but my eye,

ever staring at what used to be that dark corner,

giving birth to my nightmares.

blindness is a cancer,

for it spreads inside of me,

stealing warmth from within,

the only thing left to feel.

i fear the dark,

and i can never escape it,

so whenever the last ray of light abandons me,

i pray you won't.
