A Downward Slope

Six shadows slither over my soul,
But not seven,
As I stare through their darkness,
Looking for my angel of light.
Where are you?
Despair deepens, drawing me in,
Drowning me.
I can't tell if I'm still fighting this
Or if I'm beginning to embrace it.
But I'm still here...
Dark dreams drone on and on,
Not yet reality,
As I contemplate treason.
Still waiting for my messenger of hope.
Where are you?
Slipping slowly into this solitude.
Silently,
I wonder ifyou can still see me
In all of this darkness.
I'm still here.
