I've Been Here

The dark cold room of yours, the four walls that isolate you from me.
The perimeters that pierce my heart with empathy.
I've been where you are. I've seen what you see and, God help us all, I've felt what you feel. 
You're broken all over inside and the only whole pieces are the fragments left on the floor.
Waiting to be swept up with a broom and thrown away in the bio-hazard bucket of our lives.
I see you at the point of self destruction.
Where tears are your friend and anything happy could fearfully rid you of this feeling that you've been accustomed to.
Apprehension runs through your veins, underneath your skin, a racing pulse at the thought of an escapable trap.
You wonder, if this so called fallacy of happiness is fortunate enough to save me, where do the lonely nights go?
Where do my tears reside if they cease to fall from my eyes any longer? 
What does my hand find when it reaches the emptiness of my cold, rigid bedside?
No answers, only questions scream within your skull.
And here you are, left again without a word, without reasoning to know what you hatefully desire. 

Platitudes and maxims state darkness to be cured with light, ailments with elixirs, tribulation with contentment.
But who has set these axioms into the minds of society, ordering us which is positive and negative?
When does our true free will take place?
We are unhappy because we choose to be. We are at liberty to be and feel what we believe in.
So why be joyful when our initial choice was to sulk?

I've been where you are, I've seen what you see, and I have felt every bit of despondency you feel.
If pain is what comforts you, then I wish you the highest class of anguish you will ever experience. 
There is no need for bewilderment amongst your thoughts, whispering what if and causing your imagination to run wild through the fields of faux utopia.

Shed your tears, grip your lonely sheets and be where you are.
I'll always be there. I'll always be where you are.

I like how dark this piece is. I also like how you're telling the person that you're talking to that they are not alone. Its a good thing when there is a support system...even if its to sulk together.
