from the deep recesses of my soul
there is a voice that is not told
for it lurks there in the night
waiting for the chance to take it's flight
the darkness that surrounds me
like a prison that won't set me free
my dreams become filled with pain
my pillow with tears is now fully stained
as dawn approaches something says no
and of this darkness I just let go
waking in a ragged breath
thankful that there is no death
in the morning I realize this
one more time death has missed
and so each night I will forever fight
for I know I'm not ready to take that flight

Stick around awhile, we're just getting to know you. There are so many wonderful friends in this big family, you'll never have to worry about being alone, and there will always be ears for listening. Not to mention hugs and laughter. Oh, yah...there's plenty of laughter and playing in here too.

Good to have found this at the appropriate hour.
Like what you have done.
You have caught the dark foreboding . . .
