Defeated
It's lonely, it's dark
There is no way
I see no light
Have I gone astray?
The wind blows no more
And the sky is grey
My tears have dried
Misery holds life at bay
Laughter and warmth
Are forgotten friends
As dread and cold
Wrap me in embrace
I lie very still
Disturb me not
Hope is scarce
I believe I have lost
Words don't help
Actions aren't enough
A new sunrise
Pray, don't let me face
I can explain my pain
In encrypted text
Yet who is there
Who will bother to put me to rest
The fault is my own
Suffer the consequences I must
Defeated I am
All the rest is dust
