My dear, I have seen the darkness. That emptiness that lays below your soul. I've been there myself.
But... how did you escape?
I didn't.
What?
I am still there. My eyes have adjusted, though. It's not dark anymore.
...how can you say that? You don't make any sense!
Don't I? How can you understand if you aren't willing to open your eyes?
I, I have my eyes open. I can see what's around me! I can see you! I can see your lies, and your twisting words!
Can you? Do you really see these lies? These twisted phrases? Am I really just mucking around in your mud, trying to churn butter? Perhaps you find too much meaning in the metaphors and not enough in what is right here.
So. You say you know where I am right now.
Yes.
Where am I?
You're somewhere that only you can really understand, and yet you won't. Trapped in a slump, finding yourself backed into a corner, surrounded in darkness. You can't see the light anymore, as you only cry, seeing the world as nothing more than a black shadow.
Shut up.
If I'm lying, then why can't you deny it? You wallow in your despair.
...I don't feel safe anymore. I don't feel happy.
Do you trust me?
I don't know.
Do you trust me??
I don't know! How can I trust you when I hardly know you?
Just take my hand.
I...
Will you trust me?
...
Come with me.
...alright.

i like it a lot actually, sometimes i feel like that. like life isnt really worth living because there isnt anything good in it. and how can anyone deny this? just look at the world around us... its awful, there are murders being committed and children being kidnaped and raped and there is a car wreck every 5 seconds. is life really worth living when there is not a single good thing about it..? much love,

So its a conversation not between two people, but of one mind with in itself? Your mind? This is an interesting piece. I can't say I've seen anything of its kind before. <3

Hi, the write is an interesting one, did not like the use of word "mucking" as it seemed off key with rest of the write, one could interpret this write in several ways,temptation can confuse,lol, all the best Di
