Endless Night
Displayed upon my face are two black eyes
Restless nights leave me with no time to sleep
Calling out, no one seems to hear my cries
I seem to plunge into dark oceans deep
Reaching out, no one seems to notice me
I cannot swim, for the surface I grasp
Pure darkness leaves me unable to see
Unable to forget my troubled past
Heavy weight upon my chest, pressing down
I have never seen darkness be so light
Sound of heart beating be the only sound
Lightning strikes so bright, I seem to lose sight
I don’t know how much longer I can last
Alone, taken to the ocean, and cast
