Shadows Consume Me
Forgotten,
Now alone.
Destruction
All around.
Depression
So forlorn.
Happiness,
That is a word?
Forgive me
I know you not
Anymore
You left me here
Now you're gone
I stand alone
The future
I don't see one
Without you
By my side
But you're gone
And I'm alone
Forgotten
Forget the past?
Won't happen
Look to the stars?
They're burnt out
Long ago
Heaven came
And all around.
A beauty,
That's what you are.
Forgetting
About our past
Our history
But you are gone.
All alone
Stand in the dark.
The shadows
Are all around.
I'm scared.
Look for your light,
It's hidden
I see a spark,
I follow
But when I'm there
I notice
That memories
Are memories
And you are gone
Left me alone
The darkness
Consumes my soul,
My life,
But still I search
And follow
To find your love
In shadows
You knew me best
But still
You could move on
Our love
In my eyes -
Eternal
But not in yours
It's over?
You sent a note
You're sorry?
Don't kid me now.
What the hell
Is wrong with you?
I breakdown
And I fall down
To darkness
Consume me now
Dear shadows
I welcome thee
Take over
You have me now
I follow
The darkened rule
And this is
How I'll move on
My love
This is farewell
Don't bother
To come back to me
It's over
Forgotten
Shattered
No more
It's over now
Don't come back
You've haunted me
For so long
The horror of you -
Your memory
Still causes shivers
Down my spine
I shake wildly
Take cover
I hide and cry
I long
But you stay away
I concede
No more denial
Please free me
This hold you have
Over me
It can't go on
Let me live
Let me move on
Disturbing
Distorted lies
Distraction
You heard my cries
And left me
Alone ‘n the dark
The darkness
Consumes my soul
My life
Is over now
A rope?
A gun to shoot?
A knife?
A bridge to jump from?
A car?
A train track, maybe?
A plane?
Poisoned quickly?
I die
You come to see
But leave
You cry for me -
Real tears?
Why cry for me now?
You left me
To die alone
In shadows
Consume me now
It's over.
Consume me now
Dear shadows.
I'm all alone
It's over
It's
Over
About this poem
I wrote this circa August 2015. I was experiencing one of my greatest depressive episodes, though, when I wrote this, I was surprisingly calm. Everything that came out of me was just pure, rough darkness at the time. I felt so alone and could not wait for my life to end. But, here we are, nearly 7 years later, still walking. Still alive :)
