Darkness

Barely breathing in this darkness Hidden in this cave That I have barricaded myself in Refusing to come out Shutting out the world Drowning in my sea of misery Bittersweet memories of you invade my thoughts For now you have faded away from me Without your love I feel hollow inside I am descending further and further into this abyss of torture I want to join the others The tortured souls that departed this world before me So their pain could be laid to rest with their corpses As I cogitate about my troubled existence I feel compunction for my transgressions Concluding that my actions were detrimental to my happiness As I exit on my final journey I realize that I am already dead I have been lying in a coffin my entire life Slowly decaying away
