Night and Darkness

Late at night when the world silences

My mind is plagued by personal demons

And I am possessed by melancholic visions

I imagine a world where there is no one I can turn to

A world where the ones I love cease to be

Filled with dread and devoid of hope

I feel a tear roll down my cheek

And I chastise myself for the crime

I hate myself for being so weak

I spent my days training myself

For when the day would come

I promised to not cry

On the day she died, my training paid off

My emotion was killed

Through the war with myself

However I looked at myself

And what I had become

And I became filled with sadness

I hated myself now

Not because I was too weak

But because I saw the darkness in my soul

Finally a tear rolled down my cheek
