Silence and Darkness

Silence.
It inhabits the darkest corners of the world.
It walks in the shadows of emptiness. 
It lies in slumber, waiting to be woken.
None can penetrate it.
None can kill it.
None can run from it.
But everyone can hide in it.

Darkness.
It floats in the corner of your eye.
It waits behind the door.
It watches from beneath the surface of the water.
None can fight it.
None can love it.
None can keep it out of their lives.
But everyone can run from it.

Silence and Darkness.
They fester in the darkest corners of perception.
They lie in wait, at the bottom go a staircase or in the eye of a storm.
They watch and know that they will get you.
None can defeat the darkest, most silent nights.
None can run from the inevitable brush with fear.
None can live without knowing that Silence and Darkness will find them.
But everyone will embrace the two. 

Eventually.
