DARKER PLACES

Dwelling in the darker places
Apart from what’s considered real
Below the lines of life’s illusions
Away from how I truly feel

Looking up my view means nothing
Life peels slowly as this paint
Seeing ghosts yet unbelieving
Poisoned by the lives I taint

Take my hand if you can reach me
Pull me under where I lay
Nightmares fill this void completely
Choke the words I need to say

Speak to me of what is missing
Tears like rain as autumn leaves
Blue the lips of death you’re kissing
Whispers for the loves you grieve

Silence swallows prayers to no one
Shadows die as darkness reigns
Nothing is the sum of losses
At one with my dark remains
