But I'm here

I didn't come in a dramatic, fiery way, nor with my wings open. I came in with the echo of your own dark thoughts, with the door open to that bitterness you woke up yesterday, with the void you left on your chest when you chose to see hope as a distant dream.


You breathe deep, you're about to fall asleep. And that's when I get close.


You don't feel my weight on the mattress, but the pressure in your chest is increasing.


You don't see my form, made of pure nightmare and the unfulfilled promise of light, but your eyebrows are shaken, trapped in a terror they can't identify.


I'm the chill that invades you, a chill that is deeply rooted in your spleen, like the fog of the deepest voids leaking into your bloodstream.
