In the Darkest of Nights...

I lie awake
in the darkest of nights,
helplessly.
I writhe
in pain and in fear
ceaselessly.
And when
it is time
for dawn to break,
I find 
myself hide
in the darkest of corners
of the damp room.
I fear
the light that falls
on my bed.
I await
another dark night
to lie awake
helplessly.
