Like Clockwork

Slowly… the night falls.
Creeping, the thoughts crawl.
Darkness settles in- no light
Heavy thoughts are here all night
Tears will fall, and pain erodes
Carving pieces of my soul
Each night I play this game again
Never does it let me win
Can’t stop its power over me
Can’t stop the pain- the tears I bleed
Lonely, weak, sad, and hurt
I wonder what my life is worth.
