Poem: Closed and alone
Tied with pain
Darkness within
Consuming despair
Whispered words of poison
Devil's tongue telling lies
Heart tainted
Turned black
Rotting from the inside out
Feeling the decay within
Tears fall not knowing why
Out of control
Afraid to fly
Lost - wandering these vacant halls
Illusions of my life flash before me
Reliving the pain and horror every day
In the past yet never forgotten
Pain from old wounds still run deep
Help me!
Let me live
I want to be happy
But what is that?
A taste of what it is like
Then back to hell I go...
