Let the darkness in

by deeplydesturbed   May 27, 2016


Today I don't want to move, I want to stay in bed. The dark circles under my eyes, and the throbbing in my head. Not sleeping is not a wise choice, but I didn't want to face my dreams. They seem to be darker, scarier, reminders of the past. Instead I drank away the night, then just lay down in bed. Crying until early morning, I can't do this any more. Watching the shadows of the fire, dancing on the floor. I have to stop cutting, bleeding, it's leaving your heart sore.
I'm sorry I have disappointed, but I can't stay like this any more. the darkness it surrounds me, is clouding in my head. When I close my eyes at night, there's nothing left to be said. I thought I could control the way I feel, but I'm so depressed. We knew it was going to be hard, every little step. Today I just want to lay down dead in an eternal rest. Every day is a struggle between myself and I. Eventually someone will win, and the thing I'm afraid of most, is letting the darkness in.

    Addiction, can sure be messy. At the feet of mercy, there's hope.
