It’s right there!
I can see it, smell it, taste it
But I cannot indulge in it
No, that would be wrong!
Of course!
And I do no wrong...
That’s what they say, anyway
They don’t even know I crave it.
Every possible scenario
Every method
Every option
To keep it secret yet give in
Running over and over in my head.
I just need to try
Can I, please?
Sure, you look down upon it
But why can’t you just let me try?
I’m getting really desperate
The desire hurts
Because it just might
Even just barely
Release me from these chains
It might ease the pain
It’s nearly worth the risk

The night is coming for me
Her dark delirium
Take me from this
I don’t want it
It’ll be easier in the morning
It will
It will
It has to be...
It’s surrounding me now
Engulfing me
Drawing thick fog through my mind
Losing control
Letting go...
Please take me.
You don’t even have to bring me back.

I am spiralling down a dark well
mortar and stone grazing my knuckles and fingers
in their desperate plea to find a crack
a divet
anything to stop the spiral
but I continue to fall
black upon black
grey upon grey
deeper and deeper
the water is at my ankles
sinking
sinking
sinking now
into putrid sludge of what I do not want to remember
swept into the dark ocean cave
of my mind

It gets better they say
But who can really tell when every day is just a gamble.
The idea that it will seems so far from my mind
My thoughts in general haven't been kind.
Echoes of my own cries of frustration are all that surrounds me
The thought of going mad terrifies and is the only thing that grounds me..
Love, Loss, Lies, Leisure.
My suffering is giving me pleasure.
The end is near, the sky is falling
But the only thing I hear is my pitiful thoughts calling.
We see the end of another day
We'll see in the end, if I can find my way.

Turning tables
Spinning chairs
No worries
No cares
Round and round
You go again
The faster you go
The faster you spin
Out of control
Spiraling down the rabbit hole
Falling slowly
Into a darker depression
Going deeper into the black depths of the rabbit hole
Lost in Wonderland
No escaping, hitting rock bottom
Since the minute that you began....

I see empty beer bottle corpses scattered around a ***** lobbie

While ciggarette butts twerk around these lonely bodies

If only there was a light that didn't come from a dead matchstick

Slumped over and burnt out

Because we turnt up

Then it turned out that we're made from plastic

Fantastic.

I just want to feel something
coursing
through my veins
that isn’t blood.
I’ve grown so tired
and bored
of my flesh.
give me something
More

Darkness picked him up, and watched him grow for years

He had grown up yo be a man now, and the dark had taken away all his fears

Beneath the shadows of the dark he had spent almost all his life

But he still had a longing for the light, he wanted to feel what it was like.
