Beneath the earth it hides,
Wilting, waiting to be swept away with the tides.
For an ephemeral moment it glows pure white,
And fills the chasm with the most elegant light.
I run after it, though I know it will fade.
Soon, it does and I wish I had stayed.
It crawls up my spine, and into my ears,
And suddenly, I'm surrounded by all my worst fears.
The darkness consumes me, I cannot breathe.
Why, oh why did I ever leave?
Horrific images fill my head.
Everyone's gone. Everyone's dead.
All around me, holding me down.
It's too much, I'm going to drown.
I claw at my throat, desperate for air,
As my lungs fill with decay and despair.
Numbly I drift; my attempts were in vain.
And I pray I'll never see that light again.
