THE DARKSIDE

I lay here in the night with memories of my life flowing through my brain

Playing out scenarios of different outcomes and the benefits it would gain

Just over five years since my life went on hold and I still feel the grief

Giving into the dark side of my mind accepting there will be no relief

Every morning without fail I open my eyes wishing for an end to this pain

Those who have experienced loss will know, for the rest it’s hard to explain

But for me the struggle is overwhelming and the mountain is just too high

Every year delivers yet another setback no matter how hard I try

So I lay here in the night with memories of my life flowing through my brain

With the comfort of knowing that soon, in my life, there will be no more pain
