Erin L. K.

A looming darkness stalks,jet black and gaining on me.  Such a fool I am to let it take a bite of my vulnerable flesh, it devoured me whole. So I sink back in and conform to the familiar beast

So awkward in the morning, just a little unsure
A little off your game, but it all felt so pure
We knew from the beginning that this was going to hurt
From floating in the clouds, to face down in the dirt
But we jumped anyway; love chased away the fear
Made all the noise that we heard disappear
The storm moved in behind our backs, we never stood a chance
The devastation buried us, a beautiful romance

The hardest thing I've ever done is let you slip away
The cut got even deeper when you had nothing to say
The ice within your veins I thought I could defrost
But somehow, I got swept up and my heart would be the cost
The things I never told you still burning in my head
A million words couldn't reach my mouth; they will be left unsaid
A story left unfinished, no happy ending here
I fall back into darkness, my light will disappear

No words for a state that I cannot express
Like gravity just holds me here in this mess
An invisible force stealing my air
A looming dark cloud and no one's aware
The strength of a lion becomes a small mouse
The whole of my world consists of my house
Feigning my comfort, I internally cry
Rationalize the how and the why
