Broken

Bleak and tragic, I sought an answer. Never did one come, I chased the wrong dream. Night overtook me, Blackened in each eye. Defenseless I grasped at anything Taught to pleasure in the pain. Light seemed unreachable Slipping away like a faceless name. Breaking a helpless heart That cried for comfort. Deep and dark, The bottom came quickly. Hard and unforgiving It hit like a freight train. Drowning in fear I yielded to dreary coldness. Giving up my lucidity To save my soul. Stripped and bare, I lay in gloom and disbelief. Time slipping away Like sand through a sieve.
