Alone in Darkness

Darkness falls around us
The stars blacken in fear
All those who were once near
Back away from you

I stand at your side
I watch you in pain
From this suffering there is no gain
I watch so still

Your torment
I see you fall
I long to answer your call
All you see is dark

The mist swirls
Your mind so lost
Friends do not require this cost
The silence

Deafening silence
None else see
Your pain visible only to me
I barely breathe

Lost soul
Your life
It has been filled with strife
Hanging limply

Your head rises
I look to your eyes
In them I see a thousand goodbyes
You care no more

You want it over
Your face says it all
Your demise I must stall!
No

Your life still has meaning
No it is left for others to hate
It is now much too late
No! it is not

I see your eyes close
You end the wordless conversation
Turning away from me in lamentation
At last I rise

I touch you
You shrink away
No longer willing on this earth to stay
I stay still no longer

This pain
It was not for you
Please let me bear it too!
Let go

Tell me
Pour your heart to me
Tell me your pain so I may see
Others have hurt you

I know it well
But this is not the answer
You are supposed die old- of cancer!
Not now

You are too young
Your heart too stubborn
Your soul though is weak and worn
You silently cry

I feel my tears
They mingle with yours
The black dove above us soars
Please please

The moon dims
The stars have darkened
You feel it a sign to your death harkened
I once more stand still

I watch you
I wait
There you are in a miserable state
Nothing I can do

You back away
Friends have lied before
Why should I have a different core
But please trust me

Let me ease the agony
I can help you
You act as if there is nothing I can do
Please

No
Silent I cry
You slip off into your mind's darkness to die
Left all alone
