I disappear for months on end......just my life but I always come back!
I'm falling down the hole into the darkness of the night
I twist and turn my head but my eyes they have no sight
The darkness is complete and it swallows me up whole
It's tugging and it's ripping trying to separate me from my soul
I stumble in the darkness trying desperately to feel my way
My prison for the present but I know I cannot stay
To stay would bring about certain doom, my life will surely end
No, the light I need to look for this darkness is no friend
The light I no longer see it, it has disappeared over time
I let the darkness consume me now I'm in prison for my crime
The light I still remember it came in many forms
Sadly even those memories do little to keep me warm
The cold and darks invading, it seeps into every pore
It pushes out the light leaves me battered, bruised and torn
A face, I see it fleetingly with sadness in its eyes
Those eyes knew where I was headed that I had cast that dye
An ocean full of blackness with nothing else around
It's like being 6 foot under buried underneath the ground
So here I'll stay forever of that I have no doubt
My will it was not strong enough, my soul gives one last shout

- Comment from author about the poem: I do love my dark poems lol again this has nothing to do with Mr...pretty happy go lucky lass that doesn't even drink but I am a bit obsessed with alcoholism, drugs etc. The draw of the them, the addiction, the illness, how it consumes etc...I know...I have a wierd side 🤣
