Night comes and darkness falls
Horrific screams bellow through the air
Tension so thick no knife could cut
Lost I am, wandering aimlessly
No direction, no light
I shake, I shiver
and cold over
takes me.
Step by step
slowly, I move alone.
All emotions lost,
spiraling down a bottomless pit.
Emptiness, all that is left inside of me.
Internal flames have been smothered by
the blackness of despair. Solitude within the
shadows as I creep along across the lands far and wide.
Blank stares and
harsh reality blind me soul
to the light. Passion and desire for
love and life dwell no more within the
essence of me. All that once was is now lost.
One wrong turn leads you astray and heads me
down a tunnel of, what seems to be, never ending regrets.
Mirror covered walls reflect self images of blame.
Eyes constantly deflecting the truth hidden
within, refusing to see, never accepting
what is there. Turning away from
any reflection, denying ones
self the truth beyond the
picture, deeper than
the scene.
Forever, battling against the sights
that I fear most. Engulfed in the shadowy
chaos within a realm distant from reality nowhere
near a fantasy. Grasping at nonexistent ropes, hoping to
climb to safety, to be pulled free from this self hell. A hell only
I created, a hell only I must conquer. This is no battle, but
instead a war one in which I am losing. I scratch, and
scream, kick and bite, fight harder than ever before
and still the lead is held by the darkness and I am
left bloodied, bruised and whimpering. All my
strength fading, my hunger to fight is
fading, and submitting to failure
is all to near as I can feel
myself slowly
