The Dark

The noose tightens, As i just sit here losing my mind; Watching myself rot and decay Watching as i run out of time. No pride left inside, No motivation to take a firm stand; All this losing has crippled my soul, I just dont know who i really am. The cold coffin subtilly beckons, Whispering lies of some moment of fame; Calling me to dance with the eternal darkness, Where even god forever blots out my name. I watch as they rain dirt down upon me, Its the last tears ever shed for me; Left all alone under some grey stone, Where the dark will forever haunt me. Carl Fraser
