Darkness-"The Painted Face"

The darkness swallows me
like a giant wave of black
covering every inch of me
with a feeling of nothingness

It drains my soul
sucking everything peaceful
or light out of me forever
then comes the emptiness

swallowed by pain; in the dark
i relive it over and over
i sit in the dark and
realize i\'m totally alone

i live my life in darkness
a black so dark the
brightest light cannot
break it apart

i seem happy but i\'m
living life with a
\"painted face\"
