It pounds,
So quickly now,
It takes my breath away,
But what it is I couldn’t say,
No sound.

Creeping,
Softly sneaking,
Inside my haven’s door,
Its presence is one I deplore,
Nothing.

Dripping,
Mind is slipping,
In bitter emptiness,
It is the darkened great abyss,
Silence.

Crying,
Swiftly dying,
Lost in stolen moments,
Attacked and beaten, all alone,
Denied

It blinds,
In blackest night,
I yearn for its caress,
As terror steals my living breaths,
RESPITE!
Hey guys!

This is my entry for Day 3 of DFC (December Form Challenge). WOOO. For all who are unaware of what DFC is here you go, have a news article [link]

This form is know as the Cinq-Cinquain which simply means 5 cinquains. 5 stanzas, each a cinquain. The trick with it is you build suspense in the 1st three lines, and twist it in the last 1 or 2, depending on what you like to do.

The syllables are as follows in a Cinquain: 2,4,6,8,2.

Hope you guys have fun with this! Huge shout out to Gen *Renegade-Angel23 for helping me suss it all out.
