Hello Darkness

Without the slightest hint
my days can turn dark
My mind reduced to a torrid grey sea
Drowning in blackness
I struggle to breathe
Trying to set myself free...from me

My racing heart leaps
and slows to torment me
As my body attempts
to go through the motions
A pretense of normality
to the outside world
Whilst my own is riddled
with agitated commotion

But all is not lost
there's a chink of light
Seems my cloud
has it's own hidden lining
And the empty void inside my soul
Which always leaves me pining

has finally found a soulmate
Someone who understands me
His name is loneliness-
And it turns out he loves my company.

Descent into loneliness is a long way down No one to talk to no friends around, No one to make you laugh or smile No one around for quite a while, No shoulder to cry on when times are hard No one to...

Tears roll down to nothing. These laughs they're only to hide, The deep sadness that fills me up, And has no one in, to confide.

Silent Suffering

Surrounded by people, I give a smile, Blend into the old routine. Everyday, Every hour, Every minute another lie. Calm and collected, Funny and polite, Everything one should be.

Alone

Truth develops sadness. Eyes develop tears. Mind develops madness. Alone i fight my fears. Not a soul left to talk to. Not a soul left to care. Not a soul left, where are you.

I Stand Here

I stand here. Just staring at empty space. I daren't feel. My fears I cannot face. They twist my gut. My chest feels tight. In this tunnel of mine. There is no saving light. I walk with a dark cloud.

I Guess...

I guess I'll fall into this trap. I guess I have no choice. I tried to scream but no one heard. I guess I have no voice. These wounds I thought that time would heal. I guess that I was wrong.

I don't know how it happens. I can be so happy one second. I've got the bottle in my hand, and I know not one thing is stopping. None of you will miss me.

Numb Heart

My heart has gone numb, It has no feeling at all, And when they tried to fix it, Apart it did fall, There's no light inside it, Or bundle of hope, A feeling of brightness, How can I cope.
