Pain and Darkness

Darkness is all I see, I look into the light, but darkness prevails. And from the darkness, comes pain, An old friend from the past. Pain is all that I use to be, All the drugs and alcohol were masks to cover this pain. I thought that I had finally ran far enough away, But pain and darkness have found me again. I sit at night and cry myself to sleep, The pain is real, the pain is deep. Like wounds from a sword, stabbed into my heart, Bleeding out pain and darkness. Alone in my pain, alone in this darkness, The misadventures of the deadly duo. Torment, agony, and a deep rooted self hate, The darkness and pain are real. this life, the next, you and you, oh and you too! This is where I am at, end of my rope, Hanging on to the edge with nothing but my fingernails. Waiting to fall, thinking of letting go, Not knowing what to do, how to handle all this pain and darkness. I scream so loud…from the inside, I reach out…in my dreams. Pain, sweet pain, darkness oh darkness, I just want it to go away, leave me alone. I have tried to talk about all this, Who really cares though right? Pain is my mother, darkness is my father, Agony is my sister, and torment is my brother. it, no one cares, it, I don’t care anymore. Lost so much from this pain and darkness, To old to go back, to dumb to try and change. Pain, my love, Darkness, my lover.
