Staring blankly into the lonely night
claws like dull razors
tearing into my flesh
fighting my inner demons
seeing the casualties of this war
family... friends... loved ones
all seeming to disappear
as this lonely shadow presses on
fighting for my very life

Falling to my knees
unable to stand or even move
weary of the deadly battel being waged
seeing my enemies standing over me
hearing their horrifying laughter
knowing that they have finally beaten me

Feeling the dark demons reach in
taking hold of my heart
fear gripping me tightly
feeling so alone inside
searching for a way of hope
hoping to find someone
"where is my family?
where are my friends?"
Trying desperately, crying out for help
"Please! Someone please help me!"
but only barely audible
becoming whispers in the night

Lying here now, broken and alone
while these horrible monsters
proceed to feast upon my heart and soul
closing my eyes
feeling the person I once knew
slowly sinking into the abyss
weeping silent tears
feeling myself slip away
praying to god to deliver me
into the hands of death
praying to god to help me find peace

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.
