I Write Poetry

Falling into Madness

I was a fool to think you ever cared
Empty promises and sweet nothings
That is all that was ever said
I hate that I believed

The hope that was gave
Snatched away as easy as it came
Now I’m left with nothing
But a soul in dismay

Should I be bitter?
I want to forgive
My hatred for you takes hold
It plagues my mind

I know better times will come
But I am blinded by my own pain
Will I ever see the light again?
Am I to forever wait in darkness?

My demons are my only companions
They haunt my waking hours
Steal peace from my sleep
Infecting my subconscious thoughts

I see no recovery for my pain
No relief from my distress
My screams go unheard
I am no longer in control

I succumb to the fear
I want to give in
So my heart can no longer break
Please save me from myself
