when the lights go out

Kay C

the real nightmare of in the dark is

 

when the time comes, and your gasp for air finally becomes audible,

 

no one is there to flip the switch back on when the light inside of you dies.

 

no one is left to check under the bed for the monsters haunting in the dark.

 

when the light goes out and you gasp for air, reaching out in desperation,

 

you find out how far the darkness, nothingness, infinite nothing extends.
