The Darkness

Bitterness and anger, 

brokenness and emptiness 

all lead down roads

of darkness and miserable thoughts.

Dark clouds and rain 

fill the days of those holding onto 

dreams and ideas 

that should long be forgotten. 

Rage and torment are the robes 

of misery and despair. 

There is no sun in the midst of darkness,

no rays of happiness when 

clouds of misery hang in the balance. 

Love ended, 

relationships tarnished,

friendships lost

all because the shadows of darkness

hangs in the balance. 

Nothing gained and all is lost 

when misery reigns. 

Bitterness, the tough pill to swallow, 

the anger sifting through ashes 

of lost memories that 

now are the only

comfort in the never ending 

night. 

Balance is no more, 

happiness is depleted 

while the bottle is the only thing 

that ends the pain. 

Alcohol induced coma, 

soaks the memories and only 

vaguely numbs the pain.

This long and lonely road can only 

lead to even darker destinations. 

The path filled with tears and broken shattered 

thoughts of times long forgotten by

those around. 

All is lost by those who 

refuse to leave the darkness and 

enter into the light.
