Darkness

I feel as if my heart has turned as cold as the essence of a stone,
Each tear drop falling like a tsunami of water and sadness,
My feet is being caught through a bundle of wires dragging me away,
I need that warm tight cuddle with your presence around me,
I want your angel smile saying, what's the worst that could happen,
Why leave the world when I am here in a shuddering smoke of fear,
A dragons claw ripping through my chest,
Why leave now, why leave ever?
A pheonix's flames burning my mind,
The outside world caught up in a cloud of lightning furiously attacking the ground,
My mind smudged with loneliness,
A finger touch away but I can not touch you,
A breath so close but I can not feel you,
A smile but yet I can not hear that laughter,
I'm left in a state of pure darkness, crawling through every part of my body,
Moving up slowly, letting me suffer the pain and regret,
Long shadows of black creep around the corners of the room,
Don't leave me in the hands of pain,
The mist begins to cloud my eyes, pushing past to see,
I want to hear laughter one more time, your laughter, the music of my soul!
