I Alone

Cascading shadows pose:
Looming, threatening upon my ceiling
A vast abyss, empty and unforgiving
Enhanced with silence.
Their essence engulfs my every thought,
every vision.
Torment my soul--
Shred my dying life
from my bleeding heart.
I feel nothing.
I have nothing.
Chaotic illuminations of voided light
Claiming every faint pulsation--
Vainly resisting the demons within.
Fingerprints ornament the walls;
delving into unknown internal chambers
Spurts of crimson liquid spackling my innocence.
I crawl eternally~
Into a river of starlit rage
Gusts of fury plotting my ultimate demise-
A spiral of depreciation
With no salvation in sight..
I alone am the shadow.
