It is dark
Here where sorrow lives
It twists and distorts
leaving me abandoned on the floor
My soul
troubled and restless
I fight to close my mind from the noise
The silence unbearably loud
The unseen force grips my heart
I can't breathe
With my head bent
I stare with dull eyes
Dried out
Swollen and raw
I feel useless
A thing
A shadow of the woman I was before
A whisper
Lost and alone
Insomnia making me
a creature of the night
Pacing
Facing dark truths I left behind
A monster around every corner
I hide
