Into the Abyss

I stare at the four walls of my room
It is all I can make out
Because I know they are there
The walls do not move
I feel the cold floor beneath my feet
And the cool air of the ceiling fan
I hear the faint whooshing of the air conditioner
It sends a shiver down my spine
I have no light anymore
It went away
Leaving darkness in its wake
Abysmally devastating
Everything I hold dear
It robbed me of my matches
So, in the dark, I sit
I miss my candles
Illumination, return to me
