This Silence

Here is to

What you do

On your own

When I am not around



I am sorry

For this silence

For this mood change

I am sorry that I am not the same



I try hard

To please the crowd

When I am the one who is falling down



Please help me

Lift me up

I need your guiding light

To show me through this one tonight



Deamons, please go away

You can come here to me

Haunt me any day



I am stronger

And much wiser too

Please just leave my loved one alone

And fade away for good



I know that

I promised to call

I didn't think this would come again tonight

But here I am with myself in another fight



This lightbulb

Wants to burn out

I want to fall for good

Let out one last shout



Let me fade away

Let me fade just like the day

Hours long, minutes move so slow

Without help I know not where to go



Follow me...

Make sure I know where to go

Guide me...

To a place of peace and loving care

Be with me...

Even on my darkest hour

Love me...

Do for me what I have done for you

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Slightly depressed and a lack of knowing what to do.  This is what happens when you start feeling all alone and when you start feeling as if there is nothing you can do. You lose hope- for me it is running out.
