Into the darkness.



Into the darkness.

Deep in the darkness of the night, I look. I stand there, wondering and fearing. Doubting all my dreams. I don't dare to dream anymore. The silence was broken, and I never received a token. The only word that was spoken. I hear the whisper in my ear; it was a whisperer I longed to hear. That was one of my biggest fears. Your name was spoken. You never gave me a reason why. As I lay my head down to cry, I had no one else by my side.

    Hauntingly emotional, deeply vulnerable, and poignantly expressive. Your words masterfully convey the anguish of uncertainty, the pain of unfulfilled longing, and the desolation of being left without answers or solace.
