Living but Dead

By Damon Tarloth

My horrific reality, a suffocating dream.
Each tear of sorrow, never-ending stream...

Regret, forever looping in my mind.
Healing is not an option I deserve to find...

Born to suffer, in darkness I survive.
Tormenting remorse, keeping me alive...

Never waking up from my living Hell!
No way out of this mind locked cell...

Seduced by hate, and shattered dreams.
Touched by darkness, and evil schemes...

Danger, endless pain, and suffering.
Is all I know, have, and what I bring...

Turn your back, walk away, and say we're through.
Before it's too late, as disaster and Hate, engulfs you too...

Forewarned if forearmed eh DT. An ominously dark descent into someplace many will never know - but only fear as they go; ever onward and closer to disaster. Cheers! - Dan

Sometimes I actually meet a good person, and occasionally I start to care about them. Those select few are the ones I either push away, or show them they are better off without me in their life. Everything crumbles around me, and I'm okay with that. But I'm not okay with someone I care about, getting hurt by something that was meant for me. It's just better for everyone when feelings are not part of the agreement.. Thanks for the read and the comment... :)

We all have our reasons and defense mechanisms based on what works best for us - but then too what do we really know? Cheers again DT! - Dan

We work with what we do know, and that is the best that can be done with the information that we each have...
