Endless Days *Completed*

These Chains

I'm falling into a deep abyss,

where no light penetrates,

and there is no one but me.

Falling deeper and deeper,

with no way out.

I stagger with heavy chains

that drag behind me:

my dreams that were shattered,

hopes that were crushed,

and a broken heart that is barely beating.

These chains grow heavier

with each step, and I grow

weaker still.

This lonliness is killing me,

the lies are overwhelming .

The tightening in my chest

is from the pain that constricts me.

I look in all directions but behind me,

staring into nothing; I look back and

I see all the things I've left behind:

friends, family, love, hope, and all

things good.

I ruined it all with my presence, my

mistakes, my torture, and my silence.

This place is so alone, so cold,

it can almost be mistaken for

one thing only:

Death.

But that would be too easy,

and I must suffer- for all

that I've done wrong.

I stare ahead into the winding

road ahead of me, waiting for

the monsters of my past to strike

knocking me down again.

I stare into nothing waiting for the worst,

and never expecting the best.
