A Light

By Mann Sharma

Sound fades out 

The lights have been dead for a while 

Thoughts have given to fatigue 

Fear strikes as I cave in 

Draw in a cold breath 

As a cold hand touches my back I'm losing all heat 

I'm losing all sight and sense 

Do I fight this feeling? 

Do I start to run again? 

Instincts take over and mind wanders 

Through the same hallways 

Across the same room 

Peaking around the same corner 

I hear it again 

I see it again 

I'm in the zone again 

Confident this time around 

A light is on my back and I feel it burn
