Alone into the dark I ran

Didn’t stop, didn’t pause, no purpose nor cause

My breath gave into its rhythm

The beat of my heart pumped blood into my veins

Mind was racing, and emotions flailing, but I didn’t want to face it again

Alone in the dark I sat down

Couldn’t rest, couldn’t calm myself, I questioned everything that made a sound

Heartbeat now slow, my body began to quiver…no, more than that,  I began to shiver

The cold was taking over, my breath now visible in the wind

What was I doing here, when will it end
