How can there be a bright side to things
When things aren't always what they seem?
I'm trying to see the light that once was bright
but it's fading out, becoming dim
Now growing darker than it's ever been
You accuse me of being dumb
like it's a normal way to refer to someone
It's hard to feel with nerves that are numb
I have 20/20 eyesite but looking at you I go blind
Even if I saw total darkness
I could still feel you inside
What I seek is peace if any is left
I feel out of options and out of breath
A jury doesn't have to be convinced
to see that im the target of your anger
You are far from innocent
Still you ignore it, keeping it concealed
Sometimes the angel image just doesn't appeal
I believe the unbelievable
Since you showed me that it's real
Welcome to the dark side
this is the place that I feel so lonely
There must be others in this spot
Or am I the only?
I dont want to be here anymore
The walls are closed in like a cave
It's deep, cold darkness
Traps me like a grave
The dark side comes for weak ones like me
Perhaps we just imagine that it exists
It takes more than physical stength
To escape the hold it has on my wrists.

RosePetal, a sad poem indeed. I hope all is well, and that when the sun rises again, it shines on you happy moments

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

Sorrow echoes throughout these lines.  So sad and full of anguish.  One thing though, he can never ever take your hope from you.  Hold onto it and nuture it for it will set you free in the end.  Nice expression.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

So sad, so emotional. Don't ever let anyone accuse you of being dumb. You write too well for that. I'm sure you will find the strength you need
