Darkness is master
The vast nothing awaits
Walk on through dreamland
While the all waking scream

Lights only cast shadows
This smile is fake
Run across star-paths
Back into the past

Blind to the sunlight
Your eyes drift to a close
Ruined memories vanish
Only darkness remains

I love this poem. It is very poetic. The way you used metaphors made me happy... even though the poem was supposed to be depressing. I felt your pain.
