A Downward Slope by Jason Vanderlaan

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.
