Darkness

It is so cold here, and so dark
like being in an abyss or a black whole,
lost in a timeless vortex of empty
nothingness, no hopes or happiness
survive here.

Darkness becomes my life,
no sun to shine, no stars to light
the night sky, the moon forever
lost behind the dark cloud in my mind.

A hopeless heart devoid of all feeling,
a nothingness so dark and painfully black
a void of time and space, relentless ugly
emptieness, an emotionless pit of black.

And darkness becomes my life,
a heart that aches for warmth
a hand that hurts to be held
that empty void of darkness now
en-golfs me like a vail

Hope no longer lives here, serenity and peace
are both long gone,humanity has disappeared
and still the darkness lingers on, awaiting the
surrender to the blackness of my mind

And darkness becomes my life,
no warmth or hope and happiness
no dreams or worth are realized here
just an aching empty darkness that
takes hold and never leaves.
