End of the world

The darkness hides from
What the light
Is trying to reveal
The truth stays silent.

Even when it swirls above you
Waiting to fall
You are unaware
Of its grip

The shadows gather
And wait
To envelope you
In a choke hold

The heart breaks
When you realise
That the heart
You love
No longer beats

The world ends
When you cannot be found

The darkness continues to hide

    I like this: "The shadows gather...and wait...to envelope you." Very good segment, indeed. Nicely done :).
