Whirlwind

last night it turned on me again
a dark and frightening whirlwind
closed my eyes and made it worse
the darkened sorrow I so curse


under my lids the dark devoured
all of the light and its power
within its grasp I grew weak
and lost the will inside of me

through the night I felt alone
scared
and lost
and on my own
inside my thoughts endless dread
as the dark danced in my head

it picked
and picked
and picked apart
this ever threatening growing dark
into the wounds of my heart
it drove the thorns so razor sharp

behind my eyes it settled in
the dark and frightening whirlwind
I tried to fight through the night
but lost the the light behind my eyes
