I am…

a poem by Harsh Vyas

I am the darkness
I am death
I am the despair
I am your damned dream

I am the darkness
I surround you completely
Never look directly into my eyes
You might get lost in them

I am death
I touch all things living
All will fall to their knees
As I stalk to the world with my cold, bony fingers

I am the despair
I am numb of emotion
Don’t waste your touch
For you won’t feel anything

I am your damned dream
I am your nightmare
You will fall into the dark
Into the bottomless chasm of my heart
