Black
I feel the black
I feel darkness all around me
Enclosing me, stifling me
Hot breath of pending death
The spectres return to haunt
With visions that tease and taunt
I feel like crying,
Or laughing like a child
With a frown,
I hang my head down
And know not whether
I’m coming or going
My senses take leave
Yet somehow I see forever
And it is grey
Grey as today
I’ve reached the point in life
Where it is a longer way back
Than where I am going
But I am going;
It is the only thing
I am sure of

Just poetry? This must be how many feel, when they've travelled very very far down life's road.

Nicely written, it had a certain simplicity to parts of it that helped added something to it, I can't explain really lol.  I enjoyed it.
