Our Darkness

Through the endless void we walk
Our minds are troubled
Our hearts are hurt
With nothing else to cling to
We cling to each other
Despite the comfort we try to bring
To you
To me
To him
To her
We try so hard to bring some form
Of contentment
A little glimmer of hope
In a place where we are trapped
It clings to us
Running its cold fingers
Down our arms
Nails pierce skin
And the flesh breaks
Chains hang from our ankles
One hitting another link
Making a sound that resembles that
Of a howl
We cling to another in hope
That if we try hard enough
Our darkness won’t consume us
