Dark thoughts
Airric 1965 (nc)
If a person, I am whole
then why do I feel so empty
with all that has come and gone
a little piece of my soul has been torn away
As with each raindrop
the clouds do empty
and with each tear
so my soul does empty to
Without the joy of life
just the little things i do miss
a gentle touch, a loving smile
a warm embrace or just another face to talk to
If the dead could walk again
I would be amongst them
no direction, no hope
no life to enjoy
so why am i cursed to still be here
why am i let to go on
for what purpose but to
keep wandering among others
If not my own pain is enough to bare
as i see others in everyday life
happy and enjoying someone
brings me that much closer to my fate
step within my world of darkness
where depression haunts the corners
where even every dream i dream
taunts the very depths of my soul
Every waking moment
every conscience thought
with every turn and gaze
I see but one thing before me
The days are dark
and the laughter is masked with tears
the night is not quiet nor calm
but filled with screams of loneliness
