Darkness

Today the darkness closes in on me.
I can feel it's coolness brush sharply across my face.
I struggle painfully with my clothing to give me warmth.
As I stand there, I can see my breath in the air in the little light that's left.
It won't be long now until there's nothing but blackness I think to myself.
I scan the darkness one last time.
I'm alone but I know it won't be for long.
He will be joining me soon.
