Betrayed

My darkest fears have become a frightening truth

And the wounds are hidden so you cannot feel the pain

For I have chosen the path of misery and sorrow

And my skin will continue to wither and decay

Happiness - where are you?

Will this grief be swept away?

This madness must stop or this world

I'll depart

As reality blends into horrific dreams

My departure from

Earth is getting near

And as I approach death,

I'll show no fear

I need you here to ease this pain

For I fear it shall never dissipate

Yet you are so far away and the blood continues to flow

I felt your warmth -

I can't touch your skin

Remembering, as the knife caresses my flesh

And I summon forth suffering and despair

Yet it is something

I do not wish to do

My blood absorbs the poisons

Drugged, confused - the walls enclose around me

My mind is so high - my spirit continues to fall

And the anguish recedes as life slips away

Breathless,

I beckon eternal sleep

For I shall live no more to be with you

As I see your fate appear through the mist
