The Silent Streets of Pripyat

Dark

It's so dark

I don't know what happened

But just like that

The lights were out

The word dark is not even what-

I would call it

It's much more black

Like how i've always imagined-

being blind would look

Cold

So cold

Im shaking in my boots

If I were able to see

I would be able to see

My breath

Alone

I've been calling out

I haven't got a reply

The streets of Pripyat

Have never been so quiet

I'm scared

Scared to sleep

What sleep I got-

Was riddled with nightmares

Scared to eat

What I have eaten was rotten

I wish that-

I had someone

Just to talk to

I'm going crazy

I hear someone

Calling my name

The lights are back

Not fully

But they’re back

They cut out when it gets-

A bit brighter

I liked the dark when i was young-

I don't think i like it anymore

The ferris wheels

Lights flicker

Like they’re saying something

***

I've figured out what

They're saying
