Everything Has Gone Dark

Everything has gone dark

Water rises above the breathing line

Holding my breath to see

Hoping to see a finish line

I see the grey sky through the pane

The world seems to be repeating itself

Stuck in patterns and lines that go on

And on it goes, grey, cold, and dark

Within myself I see the same

Light that went out so long ago

The grasping for one last breath

Losing the battle to revenge

Where has the fight gone,

So that it seems

I’ve never fought at all?

Where has the life gone

So that it seems

I’ve never loved at all?

I cannot remember the last time I loved

Or felt emotion at all

I look out the window and wonder aloud

How did I end up like this?
