The Darkness of Life

The Dark Shadows

I was fine for a while
Happy and mellow,
I didn't care about the average person
Not even when I was alone.
I was free for a few years
Enjoying my life,
Until I met this group
That stabbed me in the heart with the darkest of knives.
The dark shadows crept up
The light fading away,
I thought I was happy
But it was all just a play.
A play that had toyed
With the emotions I had,
Until it came to the point
Nothing was left but the feeling of dread.
It was a mask that hid everything
Away from my eyes,
But it wasn't until the end
That it came as a surprise.
Everyone was different
Everyone was distant,
And when I tried to reach out
They all just resisted.
Now I sit here
Dwelling on sadness and memories,
Knowing that starting today
They will no longer be a part of me.
They will remain as the shadows
That darkness keeps close,
And will drain the life
Out of people with hope.
You can see them as people of light
But I in turn see them as people of dark,
They were my friends and companions through part of my life
But now nothing exists not even a spark.
