Darkness Prevails Poem by Vianca Borrero

Feeling light
Happy as a child could be
My child's heart
Happiness
Mommy
Daddy
Love you so
Then the darkness comes
Slowly the darkness flows across my world
I'm down
So low
Can you see
I'm falling
Falling
Will i be saved too
I'm down
So low
Can you see
Falling
Will i be saved too

Crying out in pain
Demons running around
Red-hot hell
Skin singed
Screams out to the world
Can anyone hear me
Save me
Burning
Devil laughing slowly
Screams of the child
You can never escape
Why cant i be saved too
Raise my arms into the sky
Mommy Daddy
Save me

Slowly descending into darkness
Slowly descending into fire
Wrapped in the silk of life
Thread slowly unraveling

Lifes blood flowing
Why cant i be saved too
Crashing
Slowly be engulfed
Screams of the child
Why cant i be saved too

Suddenly strong arms
Grabs and pulls me
Crying
Screams
Arms burning
Daddy
Hugs me close
Ill protect you
Comfort happiness
Finally security at my door
Then leaving me
Lets me go
Crying

Screaming
Horrible pain
Afraid
Looks for the light
Travels through darkness
The land of black
Sees a small hole of white shining light
Stumbles my way to it
So high above me
Cannot reach
Yell
Mommy are you there
See her face inside the hole
She just stares
She turns away
Run after her
Mommy don't leave me
Devil appears
Run
Last chance
Yell
Mommy

Devil appears
Grabs and pulls
Throws me back into the darkness
Falling
Devil slowly laughing
Falling
Family flashes before my eyes
Mommy sad
Daddy left
Family all turned
Only one turned to me
Tio

He tries to save me
He reaches out
I reach out
Cant reach
Fall further into darkness
Pain
Darkness
All alone
Cradle myself
Why cant i be saved too
Crying out
Demons running around
Laughter of the devil prevailing
Screaming
Slowly darkness descends

Darkness is all i see
Everyday
Who was i
Who am i
What does it matter
All there is
Is darkness
No one cares
No one can help
All i do is cry
Cry till my tears run dry
Slowly blood starts to run
Down my eyes
Down my cheeks
Slowly
My life's blood
Is flowing out of me

Life's blood
Hopes
Dreams
Gone
Tears run red
Mommy
Daddy
You are never coming into this darkness
Into this hell of mine
This is my eternal damnation
All i asked
Can i be saved too
Will i be saved too
Why cant i be saved too
No
Salvation is not meant for darkness
For all eternity
Walking through the darkness
