Call to darkness

The amber liquid swilled within my glass as speckled light from yonder lamp was cast from that ghastly poison that past my teeth I passed. “like medicine” I spoke. Startled and then worried by the fear brought so near by my own passing thought. “Tis nothing I’ve already forgot, I’ll have another draught” with this my fear I fought but in my own shadow I was caught and I knew the haunting past would not be soon forgot. “Solitude I sought a punishment it’s not!” I cried to no one whilst thinking solitude I sought but only sadness and despair my wretched heart wrought. “Is there no solace to be found when sought!” My cry touched no ear that should be near and that contrasted with starkness how my heart was mostly filled with loneliness and darkness. Another glass by shaky hand was poured as sadness harkened by my empty darkened door. “Fine!” I cried sullen and beside myself with chronic melancholic implore. “I’ll add pill to potion to complete the score!” And soon my cries so lonesome will be no more.
