“Your eyes are black” she says

If eyes are the gateway to our souls, my soul must be black

Light fading, desire waning, and hope disappearing

My life is becoming a black hole

My body wants to die, my brain wants to live, a bitter conflict that make me weak.

I close my eyes and pray for silence.

Dark voices, disturbing images, pain, the vile music endlessly playing in my brain.

I need to sleep my body is fading, but dark thoughts are always invading.

As night turns to day, I pray for solace, some peace and light.

Fear grips once again, I know that eventually the black hole will forever swallow my soul.
