Requiem of the Damned

Broken and alone I sit upon the cracked stone of a sad life.
The road is long and the sky is blackened,
the storm is forever in my path and there is nothing I can do.
My strength leaves me even though I refuse to lay down,
weakened though I am I will never submit for I can not.
The world around me changes the old faces replaced by the new,
roads I walked crumble and decay places where memories of joy existed now full of sadness.
The sun does not rise and the moon never shows,
the darkness is all I can see and all I ever know.
My soul is tattered and frayed and my heart is broken,
the pieces missing and long lost in this painful strife.
There is no comfort for one who is so cold,
there is no solace for one who is dead from head to toe.
The ones I love can not help me,
my friends can bring me no light in this dark.
I am on the edge of the abyss,
I look within and it looks back the tendrils are reaching ever so longingly.
Is this truly the fate I was suppose to bare,
to live in suffering and to always despair?
When you left you took everything with you,
it was not your choice but even so this world is colorless even more.
Sanity turns to madness and the days continue to dribble by,
I am lost in the nightmares of my own demented mind.
Controlled by my pain and driven by my rage,
am I damned to forever be within this spiked cage?
Every cut turns to a scar as the face in the mirror is one I no longer recognize.
I watched you go and I saw you die and in that moment I closed my eye's,
I stood there praying for it not to be but on that day god was not listening.
What will be will always be but I can never understand,
not even now why it had to be you.
The questions build and the answers allude,
would they bring me peace thought if I knew?
The past can not change and the future remains unclear,
but regardless of the pain I will always continue,
to walk through this never ending storm.
I will not die or give up after coming so far,
I will find the reason for it all.
Time will come when I must too pass,
but until then I shall remember what you said.
The last words you ever spoke,
everything will be okay and that is my only hope.
