Everything has gone black.
I feel so alone.
I can hear voices somewhere in the distance.
So close.
So far away.
They taunt me.
Pull me closer before they too, dissapear.
When did this happen?
Forever ago and yesterday...
I am so afraid...
but wait...
Some one put a hand on my shoulder. I can hear them laugh.
Then suddenly say:
"Just open your eyes"
....And suddenly I see your face.
I see the sun,
and i am no longer afraid.
Now I choose to keep my eyes open.
