I lie in the dark

A dark veil covering my world  
Ink drowning my view  
Black coating every corner  
Seeping into every inch  
In a damp corner I lie  
 
You walk into my dark  
Holding a candle  
The tiny flame flickering  
Illuminating the dark  
Causing rippling dancing patterns  
 
I inch closer to feel the heat  
To feel the flame lick my skin  
My movement causes a gust  
That smothers the flame  
The dark blanket drapes down  
Somehow darker and colder  
 
A small smoke trail slowly fades
Taking with it  
The memory of your light  
 
Once again  
I lie in the dark
