Deep within my mind
The thoughts start crawling back
There're eating away at my sanity
And leaving me feeling hollow and dead

There's no escaping them now
Darkness has already sunk in
Making a home within my head

A constant reminder of the past
That was once numbed by pain
Its out of my control
And I'm left feeling oh so hollow and dead
Alexandra M Oct 2013
Why is there no off switch
To these endless thoughts

They're eating away at my soul
And pushing sleep further
Away from my grasp

Come and put them to rest
Because I'm growing tired
Of living my nightmares
With my eyes wide open

Lead me deeper into the darkness
Please I don't want to be saved

It feels safer in here
Further from the reality
That has held me enslaved

The sadness becomes addictive
And now it's
All that I want
All that I know
and
All that I have craved

Enter my mind if you dare
Please don't be scared

You'll be welcomed by a black slate
Stay and you might find something great

But I can make no promise
As sometimes I, too,  am afraid of my own conscious
Alexandra M Oct 2013
Darkness takes over and steals your soul
Dragging you further from reality
And into endless torture

Lost and broken
Slowly losing control

Night
What a scary time to be awake

— The End —
