the darkness surrounds me,
the words sink too deep,
the feelings of loathing,
the want for some sleep,

the way that he held me,
so tight and so near,
the memories are fading
with each falling tear.

the world that seems empty,
the heart that's so torn,
the questions still not answered,
the lies and the scorn.

the grief trapped inside me,
the longer the days,
the blackness inviting,
the thoughts locked away.

the nights laying waiting,
the loneliness felt,
the childish illusions,
the one you can't help..
