Blackness

The pain rises through me, consuming me like the blackness

How? Why? Questions run through my head.

The blackness covers all, where did this all go wrong?

I want it to go, fade away…leave me alone.

Crawling into my bed

Pulling the blankets over my head

The tears flow relentlessly.

Never ending, as the pain.

It hurts so much.

Every move a reminder of the unknown.

Where did it all go wrong?

Blackness… consumed me once.

Blackness… will consume me again.

Taking away the pain.

Taking away the mistakes

Taking away the tears that are now falling.

I want it all to go away.

Swimming through the confusion of my mind

Feeling it running through my viens

How far will it go? How much longer will I endure

Before the blackness comes back

Making me do it all over again?

I want it to go, fade away… leave me alone…
