The lone shrieks
From the little space between the floor and the door
Claws of darkness spill out
Form a cage of blood and bone around you
It isn’t here, where did it go?
The cage is getting tighter
The claws don’t allow for a speck of light
Until all becomes crimson dark
And you’re curled up, your knees to your chest
Heavy breaths
Is this good air or do I reject it?
It’s always enough until it’s never enough
Isn’t hope the little fairy that helps you fly?
Give me away
Swells of abyss lurching
