Darkness

The darkness closes around me Shoulders so heavy Pulling me under So hard to swallow Ears muffled, throbbing pain Tension Hard to understand Heavy soul, sinking sinking Not a single one knows my depths No care to know or understand Just keep it from them They would not understand Looking out from this pit is blinding Retreat is all I know People leave - they don't want to see this Loneliness is nonstop in here Want to close the lid on this place Enjoy the feelings outside This is what I know When they sting I come back I can't understand outside Intentions confuse The past keeps me bound here Need strength to free me Someone to be careful with me Someone who will care Stop hurting It hurts so much
