Fall to the Dark Side

The night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, alone am I. The light for which I sacrificed myself Flares once, then dies swallowed by the all-encompassing Dark. All hope must surely perish. For love is no more.

Only darkness is there.

How could I have caused such hurt? His dark Force surrounds me, crying, YOU are now fallen. Slender beams of Light no longer enter, This darkened prison as I kneel.

Despairing, I am frozen here, waiting.

Tortured forms wrought in holographic luminescence loom, As dust dances in the air, Forming an image in my mind, Infiltrating my exposed soul. I see terror on humanity's face.

I raise my head, now submitting to the uncaring darkness.

Around, all around, the shadows gather. My dread grows as the Dark One's touch falls against my heart. It crushes me, and darkly my Life’s blood drips to the broken ground. In agony I fall limply while oblivion laughs cruelly.

This is my salvation.
