Alone in the Night

5 4 4
                                    

It's a subtle shake,
That runs through my body.
It starts at my heart and,
Devours me.

My thoughts are clouded,
Moving seems meaningless,
Speaking seems pointless,
And breathing feels like a curse.

The darkness that erupts through me,
And I swear I was just smiling,
But now what once was done with ease,
Feels forced and untrue.

I can feel each breath.
Count each beat,
Of my troublesome heart.
I can feel each thought,
Grow dark.

The clouds have covered,
The sun shining above,
And now I'm left,
Alone in the night.
