Wandering in darkness grope,
Finding not a glimpse of hope.
Fingers touch to find my way,
Each foot fall my heart betrays,
The fear which drives me through the day.

Suddenly the ground is lost,
Flailing arms as body's tossed.
Splashing down in crimson pool,
The warm embrace is much too cruel,
I curse this lowly, wretched fool.

Floundering in this self made hell,
Warmth increasing as I dwell,
Within the confines I create,
Screaming as myself berate,
Giving in to this, my fate.

wow this is very good, you express your dark emotions well in this one...
take care, jm

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Well expressed indeed my sis.  But why are you berating yourself?  Need to talk? You know where to find me.
As usual Maz, anything you to try to conquer, you conquer completely  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

Danny..Thankyou for the compliment. It is an interesting line isn't it? Ihave lived that way and I know some who still do. Fear is the most difficult thing to defeat.

Michael...thanks.   We can be our own worse enemy when it comes to creating a hell we have to live in. It is also difficult to escape it.

ill_tactics...I don't post much in Dark but I appreciate you reading what I do.  

Sea....I was striving for something deeper then what I have been writing lately. I am glad I succeeded.
