Alone in Darkness

What can I do?

What can I say?
When my life is crumbling around me?

 

Feeling the worst,

Worst ive felt in years,
With nothing but a screen for comfort.

 

I feel so alone,

I feel so afraid,
Whilst my energy just fades away

 

Sitting in darkness,
No light can be found
To lead me from this eternal night.

 

No escape can be found,
So trapped I sit
Sit and wait for the horror to come.

 

For I cannot face

The challenge ahead,
My will just is not there.

 

So in my room alone

I Cry
And hoping for a glimmer of hope.

 

On this eve I desperately need,

A friend, not behind a screen,

But there in front of me.

 

Not for any other reason,

Than to,

At least keep the dark thoughts at bay
At least for a while…..

 

Yet all are busy,

Or too far away,
So here I sit, and cry,
In front of a cold,
Cold computer screen.
