Darkness.

Trapped in my self pity,

swimming in my darkness.

Why can't I get out?

I can't see,

I am blind.

Yet, I know that people stare.

I stare right back,

I'm no different from anyother.

Why do they treat me this way?

Why do you?

Why can't I see?

I am blind.

That day.

The silent corridors of my mind,

forever taunt me.

The silent crying of my heart,

forever pains me.

Hiding my torment from the world outside.

I shouldn't have let you go.

I didn't get the chance to say goodbye.

I shouldn't have let you go,

not knowing.

This anguish grips my soul with it's iron-clad hand,

forever leering.

I should have stopped you from departing.

The end was drawing near.....was it my fault,

forever etched in my mind's eye.

You'll never let me forget,

that last kiss.

You'll never let me forget,

that day.

The heat left the room.

That day all the tears forever went away.

The chill that crept over me,

the day you went away.

You!!

What is this emptiness that I feel?

What is this pain that play's on my hearts strings?

What is it that I have lost?

What voice is this that I follow?

Who's shadow is this that walks by myside?

The answer......is you!!
