Blood drips down my chest

Like the tears falling from my eyes

My heart is broken

Worse than the other times

It barely beats

When it does

It's a deadly tune

There are no more dreams in my life

No more hopes

No more faith

I'm alone now

Lost to my own darkness

Alone in my own pain

I feel nothing

Only the never-ending pain

Of once again

Having my heart ripped out of my chest

And stabbed over and over

There is no happiness in my life

The beautiful light in my eyes

Has disappeared forever

So now I close my eyes

Thinking of giving myself completely

To the darkness inside of me

The darkness

That calls to me

Every day

It never sleeps

Never leaves me alone

It's in my thoughts

In my dreams

It follows my every step

The promise of peace

Is always so tempting

To end my life

Just to give myself over

To the calmness it provides

The knowledge of peace

Is enough to keep me

Somewhat stable

But I know how close

I am to grabbing hold

Of that darkness

That could ease my heart

And eventually ease my soul
