a different kind of darkness

the darkness forms around him, moving in waves all through the place.

high, low, high.

his quivering lip, dull eyes and red nose hidden in the dark.

inhale, exhale, inhale.

"it's better this way"
trying to convince himself, he repeats
"it's better this way. really. really. really"
failing, yet again
he tries to seek comfort someplace else
hands slip

falling, falling, falling

into this deep pit of despair
a different kind of darkness

crawling into a corner
head on knees, knees to chest

he repeats
over and over and over
"you can't hurt me now"
