He was invited into Darkness one cold, black night.

The Darkness took over his hearing, his touch, his sight.

As much as he wanted to leave, the Darkness made him stay.

And because of the Darkness, he pushed everyone away.

To get away from the Darkness so much that it hurt.

But he felt the Darkness slip away as he hit the dirt.

He felt peace, for one split second upon the cold earth.

But then the Darkness caught up to him, so what was it worth?
