watching as darkness fills over
the lush and beautiful world I once knew
once was full of life and happiness
slowly fades into nothingness
seeing my heart slowly crumble in my hands
feeling the love I feel slowly die inside
how could I have wronged her
what could I have done to show her my love
falling to my knees as I weap silent tears
knowing the irrepairable damage I have done
the love I feel inside
destroying the one thing in my life
that brought happiness and joy
into this pitiful excuse for an existane
my pennance for not knowing my place
to know that I will always live
and will die as I have lived, a lonely shadow

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

Sad, and well done. Maybe you could start over, if she understood your present feelings?
Just a thought
