Leslie Scardigno Poet Lyric

Despair

March 2011

I’m the cries of the hopeless in the night
I’m the darkness in every man’s soul
I’m the reason that you give up the fight
And surrender all your control

I’m despair
I kill from the inside out
Despair
Fill you with nothing but doubt
I’m despair
Welcome me in

I’m the sponge sucking up your happiness
I’m the one that takes all  of your joy
I leave behind me only emptiness
And make you my whipping boy

I’m despair
I kill from the inside out
Despair
Fill you with nothing but doubt
I’m despair
Thanks for letting me in
Welcome to my hell
