Darkness
There lives a darkness inside of me
A longing for the afterlife; not for the living to see
There is an awful pain inside my heart
No reset button, no opportunity to restart.
There's warm blood pumping through my chest
Keeping a body afloat that’s ready to rest.
There’s an emptiness inside of me, the joy disappeared
No pain, no life, no heartache to be feared
Slowly my soul is abandoning its body, my heart slows its beat.
My soul now just staring down a dark, cold street.
I don’t know what awaits on the other side, therefor I weep.
But I also pray that it is a little girl in a white dress and bare feet…
