darkness overcomes me
i am still,
merciful death, take me
yet i abide
burdened, grief holds me
sorrow has kissed my lips
i am loathed
by myself, alone
within and without, cold
heaven beckons,
i cannot breathe
i cannot answer
i am forsaken
my tears fall unseen, inside
smothering, drowning
weary
it is dark
the mire is thick
i cannot escape the void
i see faces through the blur
familiar, loved
i am warm
i am here
cherubs with no wings
silently they whisper......daddy
