shade
becomes shadow
and shadow
becomes night
until my soul is swallowed
in darkness
every tick of the clock
each moment in time
adds to the weight
that bears down
on my spirit
there are no stars
to dot the sky
no presence to hint
at life
only the relentless
absence of light
my tears are gone
i can shed no more
for there is no purpose
and no relief
the pain is real
the agony suffocates
and annihilates my heart
until i crumble and fall
a lifeless husk
lost
and the world turns
Marcus
Your words are beautiful…I just wish they wen’t taken from your life. I cried, I have hope, belief, and pray for everything positive for you. I care, you know that. I’m glad we met and are in each others lives. Bless you. M
