Time

Time

I look at the clock and it lingers - never changing time,

Another day within the loneliness while anticipating the darkness in mind,

Cloaked, malicious thoughts give voice to the fear, the evil that lives inside my sanity,

Where tattered remnants of a shattered man are consumed and left in the flames of Hell's abyss.

I want to run, to hide, yet there is nothing there for me - except feeling lost in emptiness,

Alone, suffocating I gasp for air as I struggle with the cold shadow trying to steal my soul,

Heartache, rejection, sorrow buried inside - holding me captive like a nightmare with no escape,

Trapped, isolated the walls are closing in on me - who do I scream to, who do I ask for help?

Lost, without hope, unsure of destiny - everything inside me breaks and the pain doesn't stop,

I cry rivers that flow through the tunnels of my lonely heart - drowning it within my tears,

To the bottom of the rivers my body sinks as the numbness slowly carries me away to die,

Silence is all around - I glance at the clock - time has now changed with a soundless tick, tick....

Been in a dark place lately..

This writing reflects your dark place with chilling results. Time can be a diabolical enemy that keeps our feet in mud as a dream would portray. The light of happiness where the air is clearer is overshadowed by clouds of depression and hopelessness. I've been there a couple of times and know what it's like. I hope you can find a better place very soon.

When feeling very low, time can appear to become so distorted which in turn may reinforce the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness you so graphically describe. However, if you can ride it, you will eventually overcome it.....Keep writing my friend.......................N
