The night is heavy now,
sitting in thick of it all

My tears staining my face,
where the smile used to sit

Nothing now,
save for the throbbing of my heart
broken, yet still
counting the seconds
with each beat

Here I lie
wanting nothing
but to pass on
either in sleep or life
as darkness,
eternal,
creeps in my mind once more

I feel weak now,
lost within the abyss of my mind
withering in the dark,
imprisoned by tears

Yet

Hope filters through,
like the rays of the coming sun,
the morrow brings with it light
brings with it
Dawn
