Desolation Within by rudepen(m): 6:12pm On Jul 10, 2014
"Desolation Within"
Darkness falls around me, swirling at
my feet,
the shadows ask me questions, their
secrets I must keep.
The coldness that I feel inside, keeps
my body numb,
but for the thoughts of loneliness,
nothing can be done.
In the fog surrounding me, all
conscious thought is lost,
I can not tell what's real or not, my
mind's a tangled knot.
I'm full of thoughts I can't retain, all I
feel is guilt and shame,
I've begun to feel all hope is lost,
someone stop the pain.
The wind blows on my tear stained
face, calling out to me,
always it's reminding me of what I
cannot be.
I try so hard from day to day, but I
can't seem to find my way.
I can't control these thoughts that rise,
the torment comes from deep inside.
My broken heart is shattered, a pain
that knows no end,
the shards of glass they slice me
through, I'm bleeding from within.
Confused and fearful every day, no one
deserves to live this way.
Forgive me if I want to go, the pain's
beyond all you know.
