Pervading Gloom
Devoid of all feeling
Numb to the touch
Nothing before
Could have hurt me so much
Senses are reeling
Mind in a whirl
Days into weeks into months
Seem to swirl
Daytime and night time
I can’t tell apart
Nothing but blackness
Can enter my heart
Words that are spoken
Seem pointed and barbed
Like wolves in the clothing of sheep
They are garbed
Lies and deceit
Are my water and bread
Though lacking a hunger
I’m constantly fed
Once in a while
There’s a flicker of light
But then it is snuffed
Like a candle at night
Dwelling in darkness
With everything bleak
Only the comfort of death
Can I seek
But even for that
I cannot meet the task
Through lacking the spirit
To gain what I ask
My destiny now
Is to languish alone
To dwell in this darkness
That now be my home
