The walls, so cold, so bare;
Alone, I sit on hardened ground,
Alone, I sit and stare.
A life so dim and pointless,
Don't need a second glance;
It's all the same, it's all downhill,
Redemption, not a chance.
And I can't see a single thing,
My eyes are shut so tight;
No worries, though it's better dark
Than blinded by the light.
Won't let another soul in sight,
There's no need for a door;
It's safe this way, it's better alone
Than hurting even more.
So in this room I'll live my life,
Blind hope, it only dies;
No added pain when you're alone
And living with closed eyes. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 315 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Hoots [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Closed Eyes

Topic: DarkPoetry

A black room sits in silence,
The walls, so cold, so bare;
Alone, I sit on hardened ground,
Alone, I sit and stare.
A life so dim and pointless,
Don't need a second glance;
It's all the same, it's all downhill,
Redemption, not a chance.
And I can't see a single thing,
My eyes are shut so tight;
No worries, though it's better dark
Than blinded by the light.
Won't let another soul in sight,
There's no need for a door;
It's safe this way, it's better alone
Than hurting even more.
So in this room I'll live my life,
Blind hope, it only dies;
No added pain when you're alone
And living with closed eyes.
