Darkness Approaches

I sit here in my room, lonely and alone

The blade has cut deep and I have hit bone

One question screaming through my mind

Why is it that humans can be so blind?



No one sees the pain I feel every day

Even if they can help it to go away

The select few I've chosen to confide in

Each one of their betrayals is a scar on my skin



They said they wanted me to be happy

That they'd be there whenever I felt crappy

I should have realized the lies from the start

But now all I am left with is a broken heart



As much as I hurt, I wanted to help them

I tried to heal, they decided to condemn

Left with no other option I gave up trying

Now in this beautiful coffin I am lying



There is nothing of this world that can save me

Soon I will depart from it and finally be free

Free from the damage received and inflicted

Ironic, this played out exactly as I had predicted...

Normally, although this is a very depressing poem, I would still like it...but, my ex-b/f(friend of 7 yrs.) just killed himself, and he was probably thinking the same thing on the night that he did it. I am one of the people that let him down I'm sure, not intentionally, but in his mind I probably was one to betray him in the long run.
