The Black Hole

The Black Hole.
Complete darkness.
No light to guide.
No one hears your cries.

Once, a hand was there to hold.
In my haste to find the light,
I let slip the hand I held on to so tightly.

Now, sometimes I see the light far beyond.
Sometimes I stand in complete darkness.
Afraid to move.
Afraid to take the next step.

Slowly, I inch forward, on my own.
Steadily, I learn to survive.
Despite the occasional desperate grasp for that hand once held.

And I learn.
Inching my way forward.
Tears fall, but no one sees.
Cries for help, but no one hears.

Finally, I reach out again to grasp the hand I once held.
Only to find it's truly gone.
Tears fall, and then they stop falling.
Then something dies.
That hope. For the light is gone from sight.
