Night after night

Longing for the one which I love

Needy, desperate and low

Trying to hold on

Reaching, grasping, clinging

Thinking only of my own wants and needs

Exercised every coping mechanism known

Adapting to this new darkness

Embracing it, calling it home

Sinking, sliding, falling, disappearing

Hollow, empty, defeated

On my knees

Somebody save me
