"Shadows and Shatters"

This darkness is so vast and deep,
So endless I feel I can barely breathe.
It fills my lungs and grips my heart--
So empty it steals my every dream.
The lights I turn on only cast more shadows,
And, steadily, they start to grow.
I turn away in attempt to deny them,
But I'm greeted mercilessly by the truth I already know.
Intricately woven in a web I'm trapped in,
I never saw the reality behind that door--
That pitch-black room you led me to
Was a cliff behind me I hadn't seen before.
The shards I walk on cut so deeply;
It's become impossible to take another step.
With only this empty dark around me,
I'm struggling to find even a little hope left.
Blindly I'm reaching and calling for you,
Cheated by the echo that still remains.
Asking questions I'll never have an answer to,
I'm losing my sanity amidst all of this pain.
There is nothing for my hand to grasp.
Still I scramble to find some kind of purchase.
With my memories lost in this broken glass,
I'm left waiting for my strength to surface.
The tears that fall only blur my vision,
But there's nothing in this darkness left to see.
Just shadows and shatters and stains left over
From all the light you used to shine on me.
