This is a poem I wrote when I found out my spouse was cheating. It describes how I felt.
Darkness looms
I feel it coming
It is like ice water in the veins
Every breath is deep and hard
I feel it coming behind me
The darkness is coming for me
I run to escape the dark
I feel it on the back of my neck
It's getting closer, I can feel it in the wind
I run through the pain
I curse away my tears
Darker and darker it gets
I feel myself being sucked into the night
Why do I fight?
I should give in and never see the light
The is light is not bright
Not anymore, the darkness is taking over
My skin is chilled and iced
It's easier if I don't put up a fight
Why fight it, just give up
The pain is so much to bear
This isn't fair
I shouldn't see the darkness
I only wanted the light
But that was long ago,
I have lost the fight
Take me in oh sweet night
Make me whole
No longer filled with fright
The pain is numb
I have succumb
I am numb
Darkness wins
another fight again
This is it
The light is so dim
Goodbye lying light
Take me away
I want to feel no pain
Darkness I give up
I stop in my tracks
I let it take me in
No more pain, no tears
Fears
Only darkness becomes my life.
