Empty of Hope.

Tonight, the sky is the emptiest.
The diamonds have been vanquished by the vast expanse of darkness.
I scream; I cry for help.
But the heavens remain deaf.
Defeated still are the diamonds.
And I am left alone in the battlefield.

The darkness embraces me.
It wraps me.
It grips me.
It suffocates me.
And I howl.
I screech.
I try to live.
But slowly…
Very slowly,
I am conquered.
