...

"The sad darkness of the earth

touches my heart,

its cold spirit

creeps over my body,

dominating the only light

I ever saw in my life.

It shows no mercy,

no forgiveness,

no answer

to its victims.

When the sun comes down,

these nightmares come to life,

leaving me utterly breathless.

But

it is the bitter taste of losing

absolutely everything

that I have held so dear

that makes sleep so unbearable.

We all begin with good intent,

believing that we could

eventually change ourselves,

believing that the past

could be undone.

But

we carry on our backs

the burden time

always reveal.

I tried to be strong,

I did everything I could,

but it devoured my Heart,

and I've fallen so low

that no one can catch me.

I didn't want to...

I swear...

but I just gave up.

What is "it"?

Why is it so powerful,

why do I let it feed off of me?

Have I lost myself

to this long and painful fight?

This darkness is so silent,

and yet I can hear

myself screaming,

crying, or perhaps

dying inside each

and every day.

...

I have been there, so...

I will bend down my hand for you,

and I will do my best to lead you out of this darkness,

you are not alone,

do not subject yourself to suffer in silence any longer.

Love you,

- MidnightSecret.
