Madness Poem by Matt Bennett

Slowly I slip into madness,
My lonliness is all consuming.
Nothing can contain my sadness,
The faint cries I hear are soothing.

There is a black void,
Right where my heart used to be.
All lifesigns have been destroyed,
Here, there is nothing left for me.

A lone wolf cries in the distance,
The forest is lit by darkness.
Life force lost in an instance,
I feel I am laid now to rest.

With encompassing lonliness,
You realise just how much misery has you.
Some will pray to their holiness,
But I beg you to read what is true.

With words unspoken,
And actions undone,
The world is for all but the broken,
And away I will run.
