So here is something I finished writing today. As always I appreciate any and all comments, perspectives, and in this case interpretations.

Alone in Darkness

Alone in darkness there I stood,
I had done the best I could,
But the end is always the same,
For my life is but a game.

For no matter what path I choose,
The end’s the same and I lose,
For all that I touch I ruin,
It is my burden, my curse, my sin.

I scream, and I shout no more,
It reverberates to my very core,
But it is of little use,
I know I’ll never be cut loose.

While whole I may not have been
At least the turmoil was calm within
I partially regret what I have shown,
Then perhaps my pain would be unknown.

My true self shall remain a mystery,
A mystery to all, including me,
Who could ever accept a creature such as I,
No one seems to even care to try.

Like a flame in wind I shall extinguish,
Though it is not what I wish,
But what is there left for me to do,
It is something that I wish I knew.

Perhaps my fire could reignite,
Then I could continue to fight,
The ice around my heart could then melt,
And it will then be known how I've felt.

For now the darkness I shall embrace,
The tears I shall wipe from my face,
Perhaps it is best for all that I now run,
Only time can mend what's been done.

I hate to say it, but is sounds really dark, almost suicidal. As mentioned, it would make a great song. Although, its not something to listen to when we are in one of our dark places.
