Darkness swallows my heart
Devouring it within minutes
I hold my chest tightly
Not feeling a beat, not hearing a sound
I cradle my empty space
That has replaced itself where my heart once was
As I sit there holding it, I seem to help it grow
Crying blurry tears into the night
The pain is unbearable
Making easy breathing
Difficult beyond measure
It never ceases to stop
Slowly seeming to cut off all oxygen ability
It transforms me into a new being
It gives me a new shape, a new form
It is the potter
I am its clay
I am no longer myself
I have become something
Not knowing what I am
But knowing I am changed
I'm lost to the unknown
A slave to myself
And not knowing how to regain consciousness
I can't move, think, nor breathe on my own
The darkness controls it
I can not return
Because I continue to feed off the dark
Darkness does what it does
It takes everything way
It won't you return
Nor will it even give you a say
