The deep dark Hole



there is a hole inside my soul that never seems to close

Ive filled it with all kinds of things as far as I can recall

this gaping hole just seems to grow

the light just seems to dim

and very soon I find myself in an ocean I must swim

sarrounded by the darkness there is no light in sight

I trust what they are telling me in hopes of the other side
frozen by the darkness ,I try to move along the path

barely making headway

almost ready to give up

dreaming of the bottle in full throttle

I still don't give in; don't give up

I feel the pain and the lack thereof

my existence in the darkness  

nothingness feels like death to my soul

I wanna smash a window just so I could feel

just so I can see the blood

of crimson read instead
