Crawling, inching further,
light burning down.
Covering, I tried to see.
It felt like years,
years had passed.
What had changed?
Had they forgotten?
I looked down,
to check I was there.
Was this real?
The darkness loomed,
the light shone,
so bright ahead.
Fear, a nervousness.
It seemed so daunting.
Eyes pressed down.
‘Where have you been?’
