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
