Amaurosis

(Partial or complete loss of sight occurring especially without an externally perceptible change in the eye)

Trying to escape the dark,
You ran into the room
Turned off the lights
You hoped the ghoul never bites.

Deeper and deeper
Into the cave of “alone”.

Calm at first, the dark was benign,
Then you doubted the light,
Fear became your prime,
You hoped sleep would come in time.

Deeper and deeper
Into the cave of “pride”.

The door is not far off;
Yet you chose the closet,
Running from the dark,
You bolted yourself further,
You hoped dark quenches your darkness.

Deeper and deeper
Into the cave of “woe”.
