Dear Darkness
You promise to protect me,
To care for and love me
I believed you
I trusted you
You lied to me
You fooled everyone, you fooled me
I can't forgive the pain you gave me
It runs through my bones, to my soul
You took everything from me
You took my only love,
My lighthouse through the storms
It's my fault
I was naïve and gullible
You liked that, it fueled your sickness
Just the thought of you, brings me to my knees
You destroyed my being
Everything inside is gone
I'm empty, a hollow shell of a girl who once prided herself on strength
You broke me piece by piece
Peeling away, layer by layer, to my bones
Why must you torture me?
I'm done with your games
You can't hurt me anymore
There's nothing left to take
I hope you're satisfied
Another broken soul for your collection
Well fuck you
I won't let you do this again
I couldn't save me
But you won't take another soul,
Break another girl
I'll never stop fighting you,
Until my last breath
All my love,
A tired soul
