When many close their eyes
To fade their thoughts
into foundations for dreams
They find darkness
A black atmosphere to stare into
Hoping to find their visions of the future
In delicate, pulsing lights
that create a thousand images
Playing a movie of their lives
Different from what they had
Before they drifted to sleep
I am a thief to the universe
For the stars that gave that void life
Had once fallen into my arms
And burnt away
Like fireflies in a hollow forest
Every second giving another chance
For their light to shed away
To leave what remains
An increasingly dark
Horridly silent
Haunting void
To consume our minds
And grasp our souls
Sending us deeper
Until we're unable to wake up again
