• ~DREAMSCAPE~

    Here I stand-alone.
    Only emptiness I can feel, see, touch.
    I step forward, I step back, yet I don’t realize I haven’t moved at all.
    I gasp at the blood at my feet, and my head becomes tense.
    I raise my hand open-palmed to eye level only to find it blend in with the crimson floor.
    My knees shake, my head aches, but what can I do?
    What have I done?
    “Forgive me” I hear in a deep yet melodic voice but I cannot see in this utter emptiness.
    “Who are you?” I barely manage to say under my now pathetic breath. No response. Only red. Only aches. Only emptiness. My eyes start to close, and I start to descend closer toward the red and further form the pain. I fall back slowly…to slowly.
    “Don’t leave…” I hear in the same melodic voice again. I stop falling and feel something warm, soothing-like the voice. “Awaken my dear.” I hear softly but I don’t understand, I am not asleep…am I? I slowly open my eyes to see a blinding light around a somewhat familiar figure, but I cannot see a face. The light has turned the person black. Only the outline is visible…yet I feel at ease.
    I speak- “Who are you?” I ask again. The person gives me a weak giggle.
    “Take my hand and I will show you.” The voice says. I feel weightless, and I can’t say no to this overwhelmingly familiar voice.
    “Yes” I whisper and hold out my hand. I notice I am still covered in blood- my hand shakes.
    “Don’t be afraid, come to me…. take my hand.” The voice says compassionately. But I don’t feel warm or soothed anymore. The figure is fading. Getting farther, and farther with each passing second. The figure is off in the distance now, to far to reach. I reach anyway, but to no avail. I reach and reach and reach but the figure is to far…and to faded. The light fades as well, now emptiness is all I’m starting to see. No light, no darkness- just nothing. The figure is nearly gone with the light. But in its last dieing moments it holds out its hand one more time for mine to grasp. “Forgive me….” Is all I hear in my head over and over. I start to drift into nothingness, body stiff and mind clouded. I drift off in an unconscious daze, and eventually a new light comes to shatter my peace. But this light is…I know this light-
    Dawn.
