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
