Eternal Sleep

I'm falling again
into the night,
the darkness surrounds me
and drowns out my cries.
I scream for help
but no one comes.
I try to get out
but I cannot see,
so I stay
engulfed in the night that holds me.
Sitting alone
shedding my tears,
the pain grows,
my sorrow builds.
I fall to pieces,
knowing
my dreams will never come true.
My tears leave stains
upon my face.
I rant,
I rave,
but still the tears keep coming.
My heart beat slows.
My body grows numb.
I call out once more
in a whispered voice,
it echoes around me.
My heart beat slows
and comes to a stop.
Engulfed by the night
I think
as I take my last breath.
How did I let this love blind
and tear me apart?
And I fall into eternal sleep.
Forever to be in the dark.
