The day I died

I cried as I had never cried
Called out into the blackness
But there was no response
The truth was blatant
The death of reality sung to me
In discordant tones of dejection

I reached out to grasp something anything
There was no life-saving branch
No sweet smile of fate
No gentle voice to tell me I was dreaming
This was the end of it all
And it sank like a ship in an ocean of nothing

And all I could feel was sadness
Rejection, dejection as the light faded
That same light I once loved eternal
That same light I spoke to in times troubled
Deserted me in my last moments
I tried to cling... I could not
And I was alone... so very alone

And they laughed, and they shouted and they cried
Each one of them clinging to something
I knew it wasn't there so I couldn't hold on
I had to let go, I had to make my way
Into the dark abyss where no life is found
No torch to light my way
Nothing in its endless death
