Array ( [sid] => 44420 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Call From Darkness [time] => 2004-04-23 03:42:50 [hometext] => Written when I was 14 and my best friends basically told me they wanted me out of their lives. [bodytext] => I sit here in the shadows of a world too dark to see
I stare outside the window but the world does not see me
It seems to pass above me, through me, travelling everywhere,
But where I need it most it seems is not even really there.

Every day a new sun rises and every day it sets
But my mind is just a desolate plain, filled with sadness and regret
Fear and anger have consumed me, all I am now is doomed
And it doesn't seem to matter that it's all because of you.

I know that as the years go by I will recall that fateful day
When you took one last look at me and then you walked away
You had been all I had left, my last faint ray of light
And when you turned your back on me I was thrust into the night.

A night darker than that which I have ever known
And I know now that I cannot continue so alone
What have I become, now with nothing left to lose?
What does it matter where life takes me, whatever path I choose

Has to take me away from this dark void of despair
I have nothing to hold onto and nothing about which to care
All I can do is try to hold onto one last ray of hope
And if it too slips away I know not how I'll cope.

I see you all around me, the cause of my abyss
And I wonder how you smile in a world as dark as this
You laugh and sing around me, but you're not really there
And it tears my heart to realize that you never really cared.

I only hope that from your happiness you can look down on me
And remember that one not too far back I, too, used to be
A part of your small circle, though perhaps you never knew
There was someone on the outside who wanted in to you.

I sit here in the shadows of a world too dark to see
I stare outside the window but the world does not see me
It seems to pass above me, through me, travelling everywhere,
But where I need it most it seems is not even really there.

But my mind is just a desolate plain, filled with sadness and regret
Fear and anger have consumed me, all I am now is doomed
And it doesn't seem to matter that it's all because of you.
