Twilight

There was a time, long ago, when Darkness was my friend.

Night was once my sanctuary,

The setting sun once promised me rest.

However, my dearest friend has since betrayed me.

Now Darkness is the beast that snaps at my heels as I run to the light.

It follows me, playfully stalking, threatening to consume me.

I cling to the daylight hours like a shipwrecked sailor to the floating debris.

I struggle against the suffocating emptiness, trying desperately not to drown.

I run, but it runs faster.

I hide, but it finds me.

I am restricted by my mortal flesh,

But Darkness knows no such limitation.

Oh how I long for sleep with out nightmares!

Oh how I long for the comforting embrace of my old friend Twilight!
