Betrayed

My darkest fears have become a frightening truth
And the wounds are hidden so you cannot feel the pain
For I have chosen the path of misery and sorrow
And my skin will continue to wither and decay.

Happiness - where are you?
Will this grief be swept away?

This madness must stop or this world I'll depart
As reality blends into horrific dreams
My departure from Earth is getting near
And as I approach death, I'll show no fear.

I need you here to ease this pain
For I fear it shall never dissipate
Yet you are so far away and the blood continues to flow.

I felt your warmth - I can't touch your skin
Remembering, as the knife caresses my flesh
And I summon forth suffering and despair
Yet it is something I do not wish to do.

My blood absorbs the poisons
Drugged, confused the walls enclose around me
My mind is so high my spirit continues to fall.

And the anguish recedes as life slips away
Breathless, I beckon eternal sleep
For I shall live no more to be with you
As I see your face appear through the mist.
