Dark Times

Darkness drowns my once happy soul
the loss and sorrow taking its toll
my heart is numb from all the pain
teardrops burn like acid rain
I long for the light that was once my life
now that my head is filled with strife
fighting for happiness I can't seem to reach
at a loss for emotions or speech
look to the light to find the way
I just hope tomorrow will be a better day
hearts will fall throughout it all
but in the end it will seem so small
for now I fight to keep the darkness
away from that which is most precious
