Dancing in the Mists of Darkness
My heart was content
Now I am crushed
The darkness closes in on my heart
The sadness reclaims its place in my countenance
I can only manage a weak empty smile
for people who ask how I am
My breaths are shallow and ragged
My gait is limping and slow
My heart rips in my chest with every beat
I can no longer find the sun
Or the joy in my life
But still I can dance
I no longer whistle while I perform tasks
I no longer sing in the shower
I no longer see the colors of spring
or hear the laughter of my children
But still I am dancing
I am alone
My heart is empty
I am dancing in the mists of darkness
Saying goodbye to life
Courting death
Dancing
In the mist
