The day my world fell apart 

On the day I died years ago.

I spent too long lost in hell And there were so many dark stories I'm So. Frightened to tell No open window no open door Just as I thought I was winning The battle raging in my head Suddenly and without warning I fell through a trap door And hit the ground so hard It broke my bones Void of sunlight Void of love Crimson shards of a broken heart My hopes and dreams Torn apart I cling on by my finger nails But my grip is about To slip And the all-consuming shroud of darkness That devours and consumes me While strapped to a bed of nails Never to be free On the day I died so long ago.

Emotionally charged poetry. But good that you lived you tell the tale, eh?

Oh my! Heartfelt and strong images! Sounds like my nephew’s battle he lost 2 1/2 years ago.
