A Broken Man

Darkness takes me,
I am the fallen one,
So much pain I’ve caused,
To ones I love,
To the ones I care for,
Yet do not cry for me, 

So many people I’ve hurt,
I tried to care for them,
I tried to protect them,
But with each passing day I lose faith, I lose hope, I lose my mind.

Should I stop caring?
Should I just disappear?
Should I lie down and die?
So in my death I may bring peace to those I have hurt,
