The visit from un-wanted

It lurks in the darkness,
invisible and silent,
no face, no name -
but it is there.
And then it hits you,
like a lightning,
like a storm-
powerful and overwhelming.
You feel exhausted,
out of breath-
like a fish on the dry land,
gasping loudly, helplessly.
You can't predict its arrival,
always it takes you by surprise.
And when it goes away again,
leaves a dust cloud behind.
And you are sitting in the silence,
in the darkness-
weak and vulnerable,lost in words.
Nothing around you, nothing to grasp on.
Just a whole lotta emptiness,
darkness all around.
Nobody near,
tears dropping to a bottomless well.
Echoes of your own desperation screaming
back from the walls.
Just loneliness,
just you.
