Hope falling

Dragging along

Such empty hollow walls

Dark and tainted 

Trigger pulled in each direction

No way out 

No where to run 

Stumbling to make it 

But the aches 

Remind why the 

Fear spread

Envelopes me 

Why it drags me 

To my knees 

Grinning  at me 

Submitting 

Encouraging me 

To let go 

And fall into 

The abysse 

The darkness 

Where I don't know

Anything

It craws up my arm

Numbing to the touch

Cold to the core

Her smile grows

With each break

To my soul

My heart

Begging deep down

For it to end quick

I can feel her nails

Rip and tear at my walls

Wanting the one thing

I'm not willing to give up

But the torment

Sends spikes of cold chills

Than it stops

My lungs

Filled with unknown water

I try out strength

The fear

But I have no air

My hands move to help

But rendered useless

I submit on all fours 

As reality comes 

And goes 

With each beat 

It ends 

with hopelessness 

No end 

To the fear 

That haunts 

My dreams and 

Now reality
