So much time has passed and so much has changed
The feelings locked away within my heart have began to seep through the cracks
Like a spreading disease, engulfing me in a blackness from which I cannot escape
It drowns me, suffocates me slowly, painfully
These feelings I've tried desperately to keep hidden from myself and everyone else
Have broken free of the cage and struck my heart like a cobra
Poisoning my thoughts and infecting my dreams
The nightmares are no longer bound to my mind, but instead are unleashed in every single day of my life
I am trapped in a living hell with nobody to turn to for help
Forgotten, forsaken, and rejected
My lifeless body now lays silent in the darkness which has eaten me alive from the inside
Any hope left within me drained and nonexistent
I am a shell of what once was
Lost in a sea of what ifs, almosts, and maybes
My soul unravels and I disappear
