Surrendered

There is this hole this never ending hole
A void inside that I cannot hide
Empty eyes, lost soul
A Hurt so deep it makes me cold

No warmth inside no warmth to feel
Everything is numb nothing is real
Ignoring everything I feel inside
Running away trying to hide

But as far as I go as far as I run
It will never be far enough
It follows me wherever I go
This pain spreads ever so slow

The anxiety and sadness gnaw
Growing inside me at a crawl
Hungry for all my happiness
Expanding the emptiness

Curled up losing the fight
Darkness consumes the light
Too tired to struggle anymore
I let the darkness take its hold

Fading quietly into the dark
Tear drops leave no mark
Unwelcomed peace descends
Something I can’t comprehend

All the strings that held me together
Are torn apart torn asunder
Unraveling everything that is me
It’s all floating away in a red sea

Each memory drips from a ribbon
Forgotten but left out in the open
For everyone to see
What happened to me
