The light is fading
Becoming no more
Hope is fleeting
Lost in the abyss

Nightmares come to life
Eating away the joy
People become desperate
Their life nothing more than a toy

Everything is dark
The smallest sound
A slight bark
Maybe a growl

Red eyes glow
Watching my every move
I feel like a show
With a monster audience

A sense of loneliness
Or abandonment
Stuck in a world so heartless
Death is preferable

Time flies by
Or at least I think it does
For I have given up
To the darkness within
