Pain and Darkness

The darkness has taken over;

So heavy, so deep, and so blue.

So dark I can’t see anything,

But a sad future.

A future of loneliness and pain.

I don’t want to be alone.

I don’t want to be sad,

But I don’t want to get better.

Pain is the only thing I know.

It’s my safe place.

Pain becomes an addiction.

It’s the only thing

That keeps you going.

It becomes a part of you.

The only thing I feel anymore

Is sadness, fear, and regret.
