A vast expanse of nothingness
Stares at me when I close my eyes
Light is lost in an abyss somewhere
And scary creatures crawl
My limbs tremble
A river of red loses itself in black
Banshees wail, a howling wolf
A crack of thunder but still no light
The rustling of fallen leaves
Makes a baby cry
When someone calls my name
An epidemic of fear sweeps through
I clench my fist, my hair is awry
I know not what to do
I wish it were just a nightmare
And then I hear you call
