Unforgiving Night

The dark skies above only get darker through time.

My lungs are not filled with air, there’s only thick slime.

When I talk, nothing comes out.

I just want to talk, scream, or shout.

 

My fingers start to shake as they turn numb.

The better days may just never come.

I can’t feel the ground that lay under my feet.

I can only stumble as I travel down this street.

 

All I want to do throughout time is sleep.

But all I can do is lay here and weep.

I cry and cry until I lose my mind.

How could I let myself be so blind?

 

My eyes grow weak in the dark.

I can’t seem to get out of park.

Everything seems to rush in a blur.

I lay here without a single stir.

 

The sun has set and will not return.

But when can I finally learn?

I need to play my role.

I have to take control.

 

When will I finally escape this pain?

What do I have to do to free my brain?

Everything is gone, it’s all turning white.

I take my last breath on this unforgiving night.
