In darkness you came to me
And in darkness you left…

Lost in fear
Lost in pain
Drowning in dark sorrow

I reach out to light and love:
"Once more" I promise myself,
"Once more before I despair."

I gave my heart to another,
Connected briefly with the world.
For a moment, I thought myself loved.

I shatter again, pull back in pain.
"Once more" becomes "Nevermore."
The cold bars surround me yet again.

The world can never know
Nor understand, rendered by its cruelty
Incapable of caring about my agony.

Lost in fear
Lost in pain
I drown in dark sorrows

Finally despairing,
Abandoning hope,
Sinking into the darkness whence I came...

A/N: Dark, yes. But it came to mind while reading the quote at the beginning.
