Storm

My eyelids are clouds 

heavy with raindrops 
I don't want to die
I'm just hoping the pain stops
Nights spent awake
Praying to the ceiling
For happiness,
 numbness, 
maybe some healing 
 
I'm feeling like I can't take this much longer
My heart is getting weaker
Depression is stronger
 
A black hole drains 
The life from my veins
I'll plaster a fake smile
To mask all of this pain
My heart is bound in chains
I'm powerless to resist 
The desire to spark a fire
On the surface of my wrist
