His Claim

My soul is weeping,
My heart is bleeding,
My mind is screaming,
The darkness is returning.

I feel your cold breath,
The true face of death,
You are there when I remember,
Thinking of you when I surrender.

Sleep, she whispers,
No ones there,
The worst is over,
You can bear.

The pain I feel,
The tears I can no longer hide,
While it feels so surreal,
I cannot trust my mind to heal.

When I saw him on that night,
I cringe and close my eyes.
He is not worth the fight,
Not the hate and lies.

I feel her leave my only friend,
She who promised I would mend,
Given up, I cannot blame,
In her place I’d do the same.

My soul is weeping,
My heart is bleeding,
My mind is screaming,
The darkness lays his claim.
