One thing after another
goes wrong
No one understands
no one can help
Wrapped in a cloak
of misery so cold
the walls of blackened ice
curve in
with nothing to grab onto
the heart screams in terror
til the encroaching darkness
settles over her
silences her
The flame of hope
dwindles to mere embers
til one by one
the sparks go out
and the will to go on
is eaten up by despair
strength drains
making the ashes
a soggy bed to lie on
The mind so full of sorrow
the body goes numb
her soul starves
in the darkness
nothing can stop it
nothing is left
and there's
no… way… out
