It’s dark in here,

and there is no light,

I’m bound by something,

that holds me tight.

No matter if I cry,

no matter if I plead,

things suck my soul dry,

as from my body they feed.

I want mum and dad here,

to tell me it’s ok,

as I slowly die,

and slip away.

I needed to protect him,

for Jack to be ok,

but I couldn’t even do that,

because here alone I lay.

I fear for the absolute worst,

for that dark and cold end,

when my body becomes to weak,

for me to thrash and defend.

How could Pepper do it,

Leave me here to die,

Maïa’s gone and something’s wrong,

but I still don’t know why.

Was it that she love him,

was it something I couldn’t see,

did my brother destroy her,

or was it meant to be.

My hands shake from blood loss,

my feet are cold and blue,

as I turn and scream and kick and toss,

I yearn for something new.

I call for death to take me,

to save me from the pain,

every hour creatures are biting me,

their tongues as cold as rain.

Soon I’ll turn to nothing,

my body drained of blood,

my heart will stop, my soul will drop,

and my thoughts will damn the flood.

When I finally leave this world,

and my dreams away they’ve sailed,

there is no hope or reason to live,

because I know that I have

Failed.
