garbled blackness
fate transcends
misery your best friend

nothing's ever good enough
what else is left of us

stalking
winding
stair case steps dirtied
from trampled flowers

inevitable aching
forever mistaking
not truly knowing anything
such a dark shade of sadness
can't pretend
can't defend
my feelings

the darkness of truth
looms closely in my view
reality stings sharply
acceptance trudges on
only knowing
the welcoming light
of mended wounds will always
shine
but now is the time, for sleep
under a blanket of healing

sleep well then, under that healing blanket
well done, Talia, another softly presented shade of dark

Talia:

I know this well

stair case steps dirtied
from trampled flowers

but you show your strength as well
snuggle into that blanket and be good to you
nice write

Great expressions of darkness, you take the reader trudging right through it with you, and then the ending provides hopeful possibilities of healing.  I'm keeping this one, Talia...
