Lost
By darkness falls
Loneliness is a dark hunter from beyond silent stars
Stalking
its prey
Depression is the misery of a thousand damned souls
In
one heart
Sadness is the pain of razors against the emotions
No
way to stop the bleeding
Discouragement an unseen path down a rock
strewn mountain
You have to follow
Shame is the anguish of all
those promises broken
Blame laid at your door
Hopelessness is
the gathering gloom of a stormy winters day
Hiding around corners
Misery is the eternal night after the sun says goodbye forever
And
darkness falls
Silence is the sound of nothing but your own heartbeat
Maddening in its quiet
Longing is the knowledge that will eventually
drive you to the brink
Of utter aloneness
Fear is a killer of
dreams and expectations and accomplishment
Just waiting to pull you
under
Illness is all these things, just in a physical sense, a wrecking
ball
We're all born dying
Insanity can be a relief to some, but
to others hell on earth
As it is in heaven
Death is the end of
that final beginning, a drink of water
Among the blistering sands
of time
