Only Way Out?

Everyday, you come home, more empty than the day before

Your soul's been beaten by every evil name in the book

Pain, stress, grief, strife, hate, death, and more you've lost to

The uphill struggle has turned into a downhill slide

And you slide, slide into the mud that mars your heart

But it's just another dirty stain to add to the collection

You find yourself wondering what the point is of going on

But the answer to that question eludes you, driving you mad

And you go back to your empty life, and see the hole in your heart

And try to fill it with a swift cut, and the dripping of blood

But the pain only lasts so long, and spiritual pain replaces physical

So you end it all temporarily, finding solace in your bed, asleep

But you know nothing can ever make that hole mend, make it heal

It will only grow, and grow until it fully consumes you, destroys you

There is only one way to escape the inexorable, to escape fate

To go where your physical world meets your spiritual world: death
