Darkness

Deliver me.
Save me.
Protect me.
Forgive me for my sins.

My dark thoughts shame me.
I am a creature of habit.
A creature of impulse.
Refusing to let go
or give into my mind.
Searching for similarity
in a crowd of unknowns.
Water's thicker than blood.
'Less it be from my own veins.
I'm not close enough to care
for blood shed.
I'm not loved enough to cry
for bodies cold.
So long as my heart
is burning with hate.
So long as I'm stuck
within this never-ending cycle.
So long as I'm
.... me.

Still.

And yet.

Yet I wake up at night
to screams possessing no soul.
Finding myself out of touch
with damning reality.
Visions of me walking
through a dim lit street.
No real destination.
Anything's better than this.
There's no light ahead.
No warm embrace.
Just eternal darkness.
Chilled solitaire.

And me.

Empty still.
Vacant yet.
I ask darkness
can we coexist?
Together.
