Helpless

darkness it engulfs me
fills up the dead space inside me
drains the light
the darkness takes over
i give in freely
emptiness is all i can feel
loneliness runs through my veins
sorrow fills my heart
darkness flows through my body
empty's out through my tears
tears stream down my face
taking the darkness with it
now i am truly empty
void of emotion
helpless to the cycle
