Lost In The Echo

I am with you,
Within this house full of darkness.
I hold your hand tightly,
But not because I am scared of what awaits,
I'm scared that if I let you go,
I won't see you again.
Knowing you are beside me,
helps to keep me at peace.
As quickly as peace came over me,
it was quickly gone by the sound of your screams.
You were no longer holding my hand,
your screams were of terror,
You screamed for help,
You screamed my name.
I followed your voice,
I ran and ran,
but I could never get far.
Darkness was prepared.
It put walls of concrete in front of me
every time I would get close.
You keep screaming,
And I keep running.
It was no use though.
How could I ever find you in this darkness?
Your screams echoed,
and I could not tell which way to go anymore.
I soon realized you were gone for good,
and I was lost in the echo of your voice.
