The crushing dark surrounds me

Pushing, pulling, suffocating

Visions of pain and sorrow

Are my only companions

How long til I become

Just a wraith myself,

My entire being enveloped

Just the darkest part of my soul remaining

I pray that all’s a nightmare

But my protectors have abandoned me

I am in hell.

---

My sobs go unnoticed

The unearthly screams ignored

Panic threatens like poisonous smog

I refuse to give in

I will not be trapped

The few still fresh state

That there are ways of escape

But none have hope left

---

My thoughts retreat

To the shelter of my mind

The loved ones that never gave me up

Though I had long fallen

But that I could have a whisper

Of voices I so long ignored

---

I belong here more than I realized

---

I stop fighting

Feel the darkness’s glee

Through the haze a clear echo

Of a scene, so long ago

Her love still reached for me

Even here in this place

---

My depression had peaked

My sorrow consuming

“When all is darkened

And hope has fled

You must look to yourself

And find your own light”

How I had scorned her wisdom

And oh, how it had cost me

---

My un bearable pain doubles

I had lost her, again, forever

I cry for her now

Forgive me, my light

I love you

---

In furious defeat

The darkness screams
