My light

You were once my light.
The brightest of lights.
You were an end to darkness.

Now I've fallen down a dark
Black hole. And your the
light at the end.

No matter how much I claw
At the sides. I keep falling.
Deeper and deeper.

Darker and darker.
Your light dim at the top.
I reach but can't touch you..

No matter how hard I try
To escape it's to no avail.
I still fail.

No so far deep that I can
Barely see your light.
No way to keep from falling.

No way to pull back up.
I scream for help.
Ask for a rope.

Can you even hear me?
Do you even care?
I keep falling... And falling.

Does the hole ever end?
When I hit bottom will
The impact kill me?

I wouldn't have to live
In darkness again if it did.
Would you be happy then?

Getting banged up on
The way down. Covered
In tears and blood.

Your light now barely there.
My fingers worn from trying
To claw At the edges to stop.

My voice raw from trying
To scream for help.
Trying to stop.

My eyes so dry from
Crying I think I can't
Cry anymore.

Im so deep now I don't
Think I could ever get out
Im so tired.

Exhusted. Should i just give up
Let me slef hit the bottom?
Curl up alone?

Would it be better that way?
Would i get real rest then?
Or would it be worse?

You were my light that
Was so bright. It blinded
Me...

Now your my light that I
Can't just seem to reach.
The light at the top of the hole.

Is this the entrance to
Echoside? Am I going
To my home away from home?

Am I doomed to live in darkness
Cursed to spend life alone?
With no love?

Will my Demons
Consume me again?
Will they torment me?

Like before? Is that what
At the bottom? Echoside?
Is that why i can't stop falling?

Deeper and deeper
Darker and darker
Lonlier and lonlier

Emptier and emptier
Scarier and scarier
Darker and darker

The deeper i go.
The more hope i lose.
The more faith stolen from me.

So stupid. So careless.
I lost it all.
This is my punishment.

A life without your light.
A life alone.
A life of darkness.

You once were my light.
Now your a light I dream of.
A light I can't reach.
