When darkness calls me, it finds me
sealed in the sullen, sallowed silence...
My pain a living thing,
to slowly tighten its strangle-hold on me....
My life ebbing away in the stark, starless night...
Here I am, at the end of me...
Trying to hold on for one last reprieve...
I wallow in remembered wishes and broken promises...
No voice left to speak one last time...
To tell you all I did not say but should have...
As I slip away in the grip of darkness
Cold...pain-wracked...devastated that you should see...
My weakness, the darkest side of me...
