Dead To the World

My blood is crimson red Stained me so I left alone cold and dead The pain is so revealing It is all I feel no joy in my heart Dread and misery overcome me I am left alone in the shadows of darkness Where suffocation and agony is my friend No longer do I find comfort in my keeping Depression and mental illness has taken over me I am drowning in my darkness I am sinking beneath the surface While all I enjoy is to sit in the cold rain To stare in the space Where emptiness is all I see No one around me to save me from the pit of sorrows No Earthly life to shake me from the bottom that I am at I have given up this life I have sunk to the hell of the ship I have thrown myself over board There is no hope anymore.
