nyctophobia

Darkness consumed me.
It filled my veins and bones.
I couldn't breathe.
I couldn't see.
I felt like I was drowning.
And I couldn't see how deep I was under.
My hands start to shake,
And my mind goes frantic.
I was terrified,
To open my eyes,
To see someone staring down at me menacingly.
To open my eyes,
To only more darkness.
My screams couldn't even save me.
The only hope I have is a single glint of light.
I curl up in a ball and cover my head.
Please let this torture end soon.
Please, someone, save me.
