Darkness

Darkness surrounds me,
as I look into the eyes of the demon called loneliness.
Pain soars through me,
as the claws slash at my soul.
Betraying the old wounds,
creating new ones-
for all to see.
I try to run from this demon,
only to fall back,
to hurt some more.
I watch as my blood drips onto the pavement,
I try to stop it...
the blood is too thick,
it sticks to my soul like tar,
causing me, once again, to bear the pain.
Darkness surrounds me....
