Surrounded by the darkness-
fading deeper in;
trying to run and hide,
thinking only about what might have been.
They say we're walking away-
falling into sin;
we could agree-
but then we let injustice win.
Not angry,
but frustrated;
not bitter-
but irritated.
Tension building-
trying not to bend;
don't know what to say-
trying to let love be the only message I send.
Longing to let go-
but holding on so tight;
caught up in the nightmare-
overwhelmed by the fright.
Tame this pain-
or let me die tonight.
