Solitude

Breathing in this dark abyss In this caustic, biting anguish Betrayed by my very soul Set adrift in an ocean of blackness Without love or life to guide my way No stars burn to light my path Jealously guarded by roiling clouds of fury Blindly searching for hope long lost Reaching, stretching to grasp only air Fingers cold and bloody and lifeless Trapped in this raging inferno Isolation, desolation, and despair my only companions Vainly seeking salvation and solace Only to fall deeper into madness Hopeless, worthless, useless Lying broken and bleeding Wretched, weakened, and weeping Devoid of strength or will to rise Forever alone and lonely Lost in the blistering silence of solitude
