The Darkness

I have been trapped in a place
I have lost my home and everyone I know
The key has been lost to my escape
Now the darkness that creeps in at night


No one is coming and no one can hear my thoughts
I can’t escape this place
I can’t break free at all 
The darkness is filling me while I miss Lauren 


Even though we are close
Stairs are trapping us apart from the life outside
Seeing Abby cry made my heart sink deeper and deeper 
While sitting in the darkness of my thoughts
There is never an end but always a beginning
Normally walls are safe if you know what's going on outside
But not here I have lost myself and the others I have ever had
What would life be like if the limit wasn’t alive
