An empty, endless space
that is all I imagine is inside
I stand before my reflection
and face the enemy that resides within
a darkness that consumes
and tortures every waking second
each day it chips away more
soon there will be nothing left of me

I wonder how this happened
and what led me to this dark place
I seek answers that cannot be found
I wonder aimlessly in search of resolve
now I have to face the truth in this mirror
a shell of my former self stares back
a face cold and tried
and a heart too ****** to love

I lost myself to sad thoughts long ago
my fate seems to be set in stone
after being consumed by darkness for so long
how will I ever see the light again?
Part of me wants to fight this
a stronger part of me longs to surrender
I just do not have the strength
I resign myself to a life in the darkness

I turn away from my reflection
bid farewell to the face I no longer recognize
She is me, I am her
but we will not be meeting again
I push the darkness back down
ensure that only I know it is there
buried deep in my centre
festering, but never to be revealed
