imprisoned soul
tangled in hopelessness
and thrown out to sea
though it is impossible to drown
when you never could truly breathe
washed on shore
broken pieces of a man
once to never fold
now can barely stand
and when I held her hand
the world fought for my sight
none of that mattered
for she was my light
now with her gone
it's the darkness that i fight
infecting every line
of the poetry i write
