Darkness
Darkness
Alone I wander
in increasing darkness,
an endless black hole
the pain never ends.
I do not hurt on the outside,
my leg is not broken,
my face is not scarred,
but my mind is dying.
I do not have words,
I cannot explain,
There is no sense
no simple reason.
I cannot pull myself together,
snap out of it, or turn my frown
upside down. I can only cry
deep down inside, the part you cannot see.
It is so black, I wish it would end
it is a pain that sometimes, only death can release.
Be assured I do not want to die,
Just to escape from the darkness in my soul.
I cannot pretend to be happy,
to make you all feel better.
I cannot stop the pain I feel,
Cannot, cannot be a person Im not.
So do not ask, just listen,
hold me when the pain is bad.
Be there when I need you most
Do not say words I cannot hear.
Im working through the darkness,
I need to hold your hand.
I need to know you wont leave
That you'll try to understand.
I cannot give you logic,
I cannot give you answers.
I can only be me in a dark dark world,
Will you walk with me?
In Memory of Mork, a part of my childhood now gone. 13/8/14.
