The lights have turned off <br />The sound of the switch echoes <br />Like a web. Darkness envelopes. <br />Feeling suspended and weightless <br />I know I'm here <br />I know that I am alone <br />I put out my arms <br />Hoping to feel something <br />Something familiar <br />Something concrete <br />But I don't <br />For there is nothing <br />As I walk through this enclosing box <br />With no walls <br />I am alone <br />Nor a spark of light <br />Nor a gentle breeze <br />Nor a minute chance of an encounter <br />I am alone <br />And to be this way forever <br />Trapped in this life's darkness <br />It is deafening.<br /><br />C.R.
