Darkness all around 
inside
pictures without sound
they're 
flashes of horror 
and
deepest sorrow 

Life a burden weighs a ton 
the
person I once was is gone
no
recollection of her at all
who
was I before the fall 

I
would claw my eyes out
if
I could 
but
help it would 
not

These images are stamped on 
my
brainstem, even with eyes gone 
it
would not make a dent
in
this horror show re-sent

My chest a coffin filled 
with
deepest sorrow instilled
been
inprinted for years
these
my darkest fears

It is a nightmare I cannot shake
from
it's horrors I cannot wake
am
I strong enough to live through
these
memories I know to be true
to 
emerge on the other side of dark
finding
that elusive little spark
that
will shine a light into the dark?
