I Felt The Air Crushing Me

I felt like every moment was a hot flash,
With every breath drawn in with discomfort
As if the next could be my last
And the shadows would hang over me
Until the last glimmer is snuffed out
As if all the stars perished at once
And we all have left
Is that gaping darkness
That only brings with it the unforgiving cold
And a heavy air. 

Will you pull me from these depths,
Transform the abyss into heaven
As if I've never fell to begin with;
We've been flying after all?
I'll take that hand. I'll trust it.

There's still stars in the skies after all.
