- I reach through the darkness,
- expecting to find someone waiting there.
- and grasp the hand of lonliness,
- when I find it empty, void and bare.
- Swallowed by my desolation,
- conquered by a lack of self worth.
- Constantly wondering who I am,
- and the purpose of my birth.
- I look at my tight cacoon,
- purposely devised to keep people away.
- and dare to wonder why no one knows me,
- or cares to hear what I have to say.
- I have spent so many years in a marriage
- that has killed my soul deep within.
- That I would have to say that staying,
- has been my biggest sin.
- What if so much of me has been destroyed,
- and this is all I have left to give.
- Can I ever be happy or love,
- or really have a chance to live?
