Nothingness

Darkness is my only companion,

My lone friend is the night,

The shadows are the traitors,

The wind is the spy,

Holding my breath I hide,

A silhouette, a mere image,

That’s what I’m reduced to.

The clock hums on- tick tock,

The haze swirls and swallows,

Me, I’m gone, a figment of the past,

Only alive in the book of history,

In the words printed though,

Shall survive my words, and thoughts, forever,

They’re written in the ink of freedom.

I’m away from all mortal ills,

But save me I dearly plead,

As the three hands reach out and pull me in,

And push me back into the abyss, the empty void,

As I struggle and fight to survive,

In this race of time, the true game of life,

Till I fade away into nothingness.
