Claustrophobia

Turn off the lights,
turn off your mind,
flip the switch on your happy thoughts.
Close your eyes and
try to sleep,
hope to sleep,
before the darkness enters your heart.
Watch it close in,
slowly,
feel its pressure,
slowly
cave in your chest.
Do not panic,
do not struggle,
let it work its twisted magic.
Close your eyes and
try to sleep,
hope to sleep,
before you realize you are
alone.
No one is coming,
no one is running,
to save you from the night.
It is too late for you.
You have been captured.
And tonight,
the dark takes no prisoners.
