No Escape

There is no escape 

from the shadows.

 

They always find me

like the night 

setting on me. 

 

The world keeps turning,

but gravity knows my name.

 

And the stars,

they try to 

lend their light.

 

Yet all they do 

is shine on my pain.

 

The tears fall like rain,

with no end in sight.

 

I hope the dawn

comes soon.
