Darkness
My world is no longer together
Everything has broken down
And I feel as though I am now in a box
Trapped, and wrapped with pad locks
Everything is pitch black
Which means, no looking forward, no looking back
Looking for building blocks
But how can I, if moving forward is blocked
They say your eyes are your windows
I guess my shades are always closed
Because no matter how hard I try to explain
No one ever really knows the reality of my pain
And the love of my life is my oasis
But also my lingering abyss
Idk maybe she’s drifting and I need to face it
But how can I, when I can’t replace it?
Replace the feeling, of an unbreakable high
A high so high, that i'm above the sky
But now i’m addicted to it, &i don't know why
She brings me down, just to take me up
And in this world, I don’t know who to trust
And there’s so much anger inside of me
When I just want happiness to collide with me
But instead my darkness pushes it away
Unlike a magnet, that would never let my opposite stray
But then I see a shred of light
A light so bright, that it would beat the suns sunlight
I run towards it, only for the darkness to withhold me
Drowning me, consoling me, taking, control of me
And just as I try to take a breath
A slight pain takes over my chest
And just then, right where my heart should be
I soon start to bleed, dropping to my knees
I start to cry out pleads, but what is this
No one hears me, I feel alone
& my oxygen is becoming less needed
And as the minute progresses
my body feels like a stranger to me
I’m crying when I don’t know why
And of course I feel like this unexpectedly
So I guess my soul sighs
But I’m still running towards the light
And as I’m running but not out of time, I realize
The light is nothing but the moon in the night
Something like, a figment of my imagination
Because it isn’t real, & no I have no explanation
And just when I think, it’s all over, my love resuscitates me, there to break me, shake me, release me, from my shell, my personal hell.
