Blackness And Blood Poem by Paul M. Mayer

Trapped I am inside myself
my blood is black, I am not well,
my mental status is intact,
Although I can't get over one fact
My mind should help me
my heart should too
to save myself
from all I knew
but it's not helping,
despite my pleas
It's pulling me in
this abyss it sees
To kill my soul
take it away
to a place
I cannot say
This needs to stop
the end is near
I cry and scream
from pain and fear
It is closer
death I see
I'm drowning faster
Please save me
my heart is cold
all ripped and torn
i'm all alone
no one to hold
Can someone see
the pain I'm in
take me away,
this is a sin
Why should someone
suffer so
to leave me stranded
all alone
I'm all alone
why can't you see
pain is near
death engulfs me
Someone help me
Anyone care
enough to understand
my fear
Can't you see
I'm all alone
Blackness and hell
They are my home
I'm dying slowly
light is gone
my world is fading
there is no dawn
Here I'll say it
one more time
this has a reason
it is a sign
someone help me
cause light is neigh
save my soul
before I die
