It is then & now that I contemplate the darkness that has consumed me ever so slowly
I find no words to truly explain how I feel
I fear I am gone
My soul & whole being fading away with the passage of time

There is no escape this time
I've been too far gone
My eyes have seen & felt so much pain
My heart while still beating has become numb & immune
To me there is nothing left to say or do

I don't know why I feel this way
Alone in a crowd, a loner with many thoughts
Misunderstood, perhaps even forgotten …
Call it my fate, destiny or whatever you want to
But I am done, I am through
