The Darkness

The beauty of nothing Is what I see If people opened their eyes They would not see me. There maybe less space When I am around But I am not seen I cannot be found. I am not worth My weight in gold I am not worthy For someone to hold. I do not wish For another day I do not dream I no longer pray. I do not understand Why I'm still here I do not understand Pain and tears. Explain to me why The good are to die The bad left behind To continue their lies. Where is this light I hear about I'm lost in the darkness With no way out. I think of death And what it might be To end this nothingness Which is me. The answers continue To be hidden from me For today, tomorrow Perhaps, eternity. You cannot give love Then laugh at me For I am lost to the darkness And no one sees.
