Wrapping myself deep in my dark and shrouded room,
I wrap myself into the deep darkness.
In hopes that it will take away the pain,
And release me from the torture that I feel inside.

I once looked to what I thought was love,
Now I see all that it is.
Pain, sadness and despair,
Reach deep within my soul where happiness once was.

Now here I sit in total loneliness,
Wondering where it all went wrong.
Hoping that something will end the pain,
That rips apart my soul deep inside.

Looking to the darkness that is before me,
I lunge out to it in hopes that it will free me.
And keep me safe from the harm that is to come,
Praying that it will all end soon and let me be free to run.

Grasping out at the branches of pain,
I look to it to comfort me as it has in the past.
Wanting nothing more then to give all that I am,
So that it may take me deep within it’s warm wanting embrace.

Giving out to what is inevitable,
I find that nothing was ever as it seems.
And that the darkness is the only thing that is real,
And has always been the only friend I have ever had.

Willing myself - I let go,
Falling far - I find that I am in hell.
Desires - the painlessness,
Death - seems so far away.
