Darkness suffocates her
Wrapped in it like a too-tight blanket
She scrapes at the darkness
Trying to peel it away

Futility descends upon her
After days of failure
She is trapped
In darkness

Salvation threatens to arrive
Light pierces the darkness
Banishes the futility
Her heart skips beats

But, he comes in again
Futility does not leave
Dread envelops
He leaves after a few painful minutes

Darkness returns
