Into the Void of Silence

October 03, 2012 ---------------------- Settle around me this silence For it is all I know, all I'll ever know Do you know when I feel low? When my depression drags me to the depths of below I do not think you do, for you are never around When I crash, far beneath the ground and I'm screaming, can't you hear me!? Where are you, where have you gone? Can you save me? Why am I so alone, when I want your comfort, When I NEED your comfort So close to me, I can see you Yet so far, you do not see me, do you? Close these bleeding wounds of mine Hurry before I fall away and die But the silence, the loneliness just thickens I need your help, but you do not come I need you, I need you Savior where are you? why am I so trapped, so fallen, so lost? What is the price, what is the cost? For me to be taken from the void of silence Can I ever be saved? Or is it too late for me Will I ever be free? Where are you my friend? Why do you not come to aid me? You said i could trust in you, rely on you But you are not here...YOU! You are gone again! ...Why? Why have you ignored me...? Why have you left me with this empty silence With nothing, no hope, no faith to hold onto Where have you gone my friend Why have you left me behind? Was I easy to forget in the end?

Sometimes, when we are in the darkest of dark, it seems like no one is really there. But sometimes that person is with you in the dark and is lost themselves. This is a hard one to read. I have felt abandoned many times, but have never been able to express it in this way. Great job and keep up the excellent work. Always, Laura

Feelings of loneliness and betrayal run strong from beginning to end. Loved it.
