A darkness looms over me
Penetrating my soul
It reaches for the deepest parts
And smothers them all whole
No matter where I go
Or how I think
the people I'm with
Or the songs I sing
the darkness is there
consuming me
wringing me dry of all the good in me
But, I've come to realise
something true
the darkness harbours in all of you
Not just me and not just them
not just some but everyone
how do we rid of it?
How have they?
Do they not feel it in the same way?
I'm unsure and I'm scared to ask
What would you do? Had you this task?
Would you fight it? or would you pry?
to so many others who have dreadfully tried?
Or would you concede and declare yourself done?
Allowing the darkness to know it has won?
Your unsure? Great! that makes two
I guess I'll just take the latter
And be one with this thing
Empty and full
With it, it has replaced
My soul and my 'good'
Now a dark empty space
