I've always heard that being consumed is a good thing.
Consumed by love, work, music, whatever.
But this,
This is one thing I would rather die than be consumed by.  
I can't sleep without images of you floating in my head, dreams so real it's almost like you're still in my bed.
When I wake up, I have a split second where I forget everything and have hope that today will be a good day.
But then it settles in, that darkness that I try so hard to avoid.
The dark cloud that never goes away, drenches my thoughts and my will to stay.
I wish I knew a way to leave.
I wish I knew a way to be.
I wish that you were here with me.
It's so dark.
I can't stand to be apart.
You used to be my ray of sunshine but now you are the reason that I can't see.
The reason that I can't be.
Please leave me, darkness.
Let me live.
I've always heard that something's gotta give.
But all you ever did was take.
