A sad cold song;
playing over in my mind
reminding me of the happiness
I can never seem to find.
A vacant barren land;
where nothing else breathes
but the disease of being alone
It buries deep and seethes.
A bloodchilling nightmare;
that is the ultimate fear
it's worse then broken bones
and rivers of salty tears.
A hellish demon;
which despises the light
it feeds on comfort and joy
in the dead of midnight.
A permanent scar;
the pain i will always feel
there is no amount of bandages
that can help this wound heal.
A rampant illness;
for which there is no cure
it leaves you feeling broken
vulnerable and impure.
A deadly habit;
one you cannot shake
no matter how hard you try
It's impossible to break.
