Dark Embrace





The loneliness of this space

occupies my every second of thought

held steadfastly in place

by feelings, memories, constantly fought

riveted by the cold mad seasons dark embrace



Seems I need you now, as I needed you then

guess you don't have these same emotions

running through you,

As your silence shows this to be true

I wonder,and ponder,was this jist a one-sided mistake?



Someday, I pray, that I'll be released from this path, where the dark embraces my heart,

as if to say, "it understands"

Maybe one day too I will feel...nothing



I thought about you tonight

In a dark room, a world of gloom,...surrounds

And as the lonliness of the soul waited,

with dark embrace in this place,

I turned my face toward the heavens,

embracing the darkness...praying, that I too felt nothing
