Another Letter

All alone, staring in the darkness,
waiting to fall asleep through tears,
is it the permanent damage that has
been done to myself
from which I cannot heal, tell?

Dear God, my days are getting tougher,
my nights are darker
please hold my hand 
a little more tighter

a small prayer, if it reaches you
please come down 
to see what I am going through

Its difficult to survive this phase
but I know that you know
that I will pass this storm

its just that I feel withered already
don’t know how much more I will drown

I know you will grab my hand 
you will save me
I am worried but what I will be 
if not the same 
Girl that I was
before I lost her to this darkness
which has now swallowed me from inside
and now everything is dark for me
like a night sky

which doesn’t have any stars
moon is gone
black night, all alone
