Darkness
There's a phantom
Following me home
I’m overwhelmed with fear
I’m always alone
This place is so dreary
I feel stuck here
Like I’m forced
To live here with no escape
I want to run
But my legs won’t move
It’s like my feet
Are glued down
He would poke fun
At me
But he didn’t know
His words were like razor blades
Slowly tearing me apart
Every day there
Was killing me
Now I have a bitter heart
I feel like this darkness
Is swallowing me whole
I feel like it’s goal
Is to kill me
This darkness is turning
Me into something I dread
An insensitive loner
I feel like I’ll end up dead
There is no end
To this pain
It just gets worse
I could never face my fears
I have no friend
To rely on
I am stuck
Crying bloody tears
