The darkness lurking
Gnawing and irking
Eating away at my soul

Peace has gone
With nowhere to return
Life is dull
With no concern

Blacken heart
Shattered hopes
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to cope

The happiness once felt
Turns to stone
Living life now
Turned to rotting bone

My brightest wish
Now fading
The worry and sorrow
Now hating

Wishing things would birth anew
The happiness and joy
I once knew
