The Darkness Nine

Laying in bed and you think things 
your mind racing in the darkness just creeps in surrounding your heart 
every word you read is it like a stabbing pain and it just keeps getting worse
 because you keep subjecting yourself to it and it doesn't stop 
then your mind races more and more and more 
instead of pulling out that tiny thin little blade you write
 but what you write really makes you believe that death is the only answer 
that it is the only relief from the pain that you feel every day 
from the sorrow the loneliness when the thought of death can calm you 
that is when you know.....
