Night

The daylight fades
Darkness screams
I find myself alone
Voices whisper
From inside
Tearing me apart
Filling me with doubt
Dissolving me
With every passing breath
How do I swim
When I want to sink?
How do I move
when I want to die
How do I reach for something
When I cannot feel

The morning creeps
Across the sky
Light warms the passing night
The world awakens
So alive
So alive
So alive
but me.
I am ash, I am abandon fire
I am discarded mail
Yesterdays news, yesterday's thoughts
I slept while the world passed me by.
And as I fade away
I wonder if I could have changed it all
If I could have mattered
To someone, just someone
And not fade into the night
