The Darkness

The Darkness
You promised you would always be my light but you extinguished yourself leaving me in darkness.
A gesture from your part seeming selfish and quite heartless.
You made me feel like I graduated from a pine box to a sarcophagus.
You gave me an eternal feeling of solitude in the pit of my stomach which is bottomless.
Metaphorically ripping the heart out of my chest without caring about the consequence.
Leaving me passed out in the darkness, will I ever regain my consciousness?
Clutching my chest for a breath, only consuming air that's ominous.
I stop breathing, like you've blocked off my windpipe and starve to death from the depression that's blocked off my esophagus.
Maybe I'll be discovered in a thousand years and studied by an anthropologist.
Don't you understand that without you I cannot live autonomous?
The impact you had on my life had so much dominance.
I always knew I felt a love for you even in my subconscious.
My soul leaps out of my body now on a mission that's reconnaissance.
It's going to fail though, because even in my spirit you've destroyed all it's confidence.
Now I'll have an eternity of darkness to verify my hypothesis.
Bottom line is because of you, I'm the next member of a necropolis.
Hopefully my heart will reincarnate and find love again, the only thing that's positive.
