Empty

I lie awake looking up at the ceiling, thinking what is this life for?

What is the point of breathing when it only brings you pain?

Engulfed by the darkness that surrounds me, i know there is no point in praying for a better tomorrow.

It will never come.

My eyes see in black in white.
My nightmares haunt me even after the sun comes up.
My feet follow the well trodden path of sorrow.
My face is soaked by the tears that escape from my grasp.
My heart has long been emptied of a love I once had.

Standing on the edge, I finally feel at peace.

Knowing this, i take that last step that will lead me to my fate.

Falling....down....down.....down.....the world is a blur of beautiful colors and strange sounds.

As I take my last breath I know my mind is clear, my heart is healed, my soul is vibrant, and my arms are open.

Watching my whole life play for me one last time, finally allowed me to see the light.
