Wither

I was surrounded by darkness
Embraced by darkness
So darkness I became
And I evaporated into the eternal night sky
Like a milk-white haze
I was surrounded by grey
Embraced by grey
And the great void I saw before my eyes
Was engulfed in thick black smoke
I was surrounded by white
Embraced by white
And my bleeding heart
Painted these snow-covered plains in the deepest red
I was surrounded by nothingness
Embraced by nothingness
All alone on the ground I lay
And nothingness I became
But in my mind you sat beside me
Forever holding my hand;
Silently watching me wither away
