Nocturne of Shadows

My every night is spent in pain And my every day in vain With nowhere to turn I wait for somehow to show I may not know their name But when they come I will know What shadows have befallen upon my life Will agony await around the corner? Or will I face my toil and strife? My gut instinct tells me the former My struggle to stay alive Is constantly put off by my past The sand is fading fast In this translucent glass I wish I could turn back time When I write just to rhyme A time when it was all fun And when my life was not coming undone The hours are fading And this life no longer shows hope I am left alone in this world And with no happiness to elope I sit here in this hell These four walls surrounding me make up my being I am left alone And without a reason for leaving.
