Into the Dark
I shall Always trail alone,they who come near
only leave me behind
a fading memory
Another fold in a photo
One more who is left behind
one more no one
and they tell me be happy
with a smile
When in the inside I die a little more
They smile and it breaks me apart
What am I?
Am I even Human
I am just another face in the crowd.
I have lost myself
i've been told find someone to live for
They abandon me
I am dead then
inside I am just a hollow shell
I am not what I use to be
I shall never grow into something of great beauty
withered away long ago.
I was left in the dark
born by the name Amber
17 years later to be born
by the name Aidan
New shall I grow
I pulled myself out of the dark
yet I find myself slipping back
the body what littered with scars
all proof I am alive
not dead
even if i am still hollow
a shell of the person I could be
longing to be free of the past
unable to let go
in the darkness I shall stay
I cannot break free my chains
Yet maybe I shall grow into something great
A new start
by the name of my choosing
Aidan Reed...
In the darkness I was planted
perhaps I shall find the strength to break free.
