The Edge of Darkness

A voice so empty,
Echoes, faint and petty.
Haunting my mind, leaving me restless,
Pushing me closer to the edge of darkness.

In a lively crowd, voices dancing,
Loneliness drifts quietly, glancing.
Hope, once shining, slips away with grace,
Tears walk bare, tracing paths on my face.

My eyes see nothing but endless night,
A smile painted, but never quite right.
Each breath weighs heavy, drowning in fear,
Yet the thought of death feels far too near.

Life is frost, a bitter wither,
Makes me wonder if spring will ever glitter.
Or am I bound to an endless winter,
Where destiny fades, growing colder, dimmer.

Sorrowful echoes render me lifeless,
Suspended in darkness, endlessly tireless.
Neither can I find peace in living or dying,
While the world strides on, my frost forever denying.
