I Want Me Back

Blackness descends upon me
during daylight hours,
softly mixing with a myriad of emotions
I can no more identify than feel.
It wraps its jagged ebony wings
around my thin torso as I turn
toward it, finally embracing it.
The blackness has claimed a 
part of me which it will never
return without first taking
something as payment.  Me.
