The emptiness of a room crushes me
There is no greater weight I know than that of being alone.
When clocks stop moving
And thoughts start racing
Slowly I go mad.
Before I know it I'm shaking
There's wars going on in my head.

The whole world becomes a blackness
My life seemingly a joke.
The air has been removed from my lungs.
Replaced with water
I choke.

The demons crawl out from my ears
I watch them dance around the room.
"We're your only company" they bid
But it's a death sentence I've always known.

Just want me
I whisper now
Because if another does not want me,
**I do not want myself
