Across the lake, I see a light shining outward towards the Sea, making the water glisten in it's reflection.

Seeing the light, gives me a positive, optimistic feeling for the future. It's like a radiating glow inside of my chest.

It makes me hopeful, in the darkest of times.

One day, however, when night came, the light didn't shine from the lighthouse. I looked out from the lake, only to see aa enveloping blackness where the light once proudly shined.

It wasn't there anymore

The light was gone

Shattered, and forgotten

Just like my heart

It gave me a feeling of dread, that just wouldn't go away. The feeling pressed itself against me, holding me down from the weight of it.

It was too much for me to handle.

The consuming, and eternal darkness...

Swallowed every part of me.
