Yours Truly

The dreary words

Lifeless haunting fights

No one can see me

Because the light is so far away

No one can reach me

Because I’m further from myself

I finger the darkness

Trying to find a crack

There’s got to be something out there

Something of the light

No matter how hard I try

I can never begin the search to life

Never will I be able to breathe

Because I’m suffocating in the dark

Never can I think for myself

Because my mind is so bleak

My soul has left me

To be abandoned in the dark

All alone with no one

The crystal tears

That no one can see

Not even me

Filled with nothin

Nobody can reach me

Because I’m so lost

Nobody can see me

Because I’ve fallen in the darkness

And I can't find a way out

Misty eyed from the tears

But nothing is blurred

I want to be saved

But no one notices me

Because I’m confined in this darkness

I cannot escape the trap

I cannot find the light to live

I’ve begun a lifeless life

Only jumbled words to hear

And nothing to see except the dark

I’ve tried to reach into the heavens

Hoping that someone can pull me out

But I feel nothing

Only the cold embrace of the darkness

I cry every night

Or would it be day?

It could be both

But I cannot decipher them

Because I cannot see

I cannot feel

Anything to save me

Only the prevailing words

That says that this is my fate

But I don't want it to be

I don't want to die alone

Is this how to waste away?

Without knowing if I can breathe?

Within the next moment?

I’m so frustrated and scared

Nobody can find me

Because I’m so far down inside myself

Nobody can hear me

Because I cannot yell out

I can only hear the words of whispers

That I don't want to hear

But they say I long to hear them

So they repeat over and over

Driving my lifeless life into madness

Trying to make me end

But I hate those words

I know I can hear them

But I want to hear other words

My own voice no longer faded

In my head all I hear is screaming

I cry and cry

Help me, save me

I don't want to die

No matter what those haunting words say inside my head

Let me live

Help me, save me

I don't want to be wasted away

Then I hear a different ring

Yet it's so faint I strain to hear

What did it say?

I want to know

Say it again

I want to hear that voice again

They said hang on...

I’m going to

But I cannot much longer

Everything is weak

How long will I have to wait?

I cringe at my soul's screaming

It’s above me

Not in me

Help me, save me

Those are my words

But the dreary words still call out

I drift off...

No longer hearing any words at all

The darkness is there

No longer can I hear, see, or believe

No touch can save me

It gets harder to breathe

Every moment

I scream without a voice

I cry without a whimper

Help me, save me

My life is withheld deep within...

... you ...
