Like a thief, it creeps
And slowly catches up on you
Silent enemy growing within
Building up, waiting patiently
It feeds on your energies
Driving you slight dotty
Lethargic and weary
You feel terribly burdened
It sneaks into your mind
Quietly disrupts your life
Despondency and negativity
Threaten you from inside
Seeking temporary relief
Bottle, pills to deaden senses
Or a way to eternal release
No tears, no pain, no existence

Blackness surrounds me
and fills my being.

and scorches my soul.
I am intoxicated

Brothers Adness
There you are, right where she left you in sorrow,
You've made this bed of sadness and now you can't
by Bob Mundle
Heart of Darkness
Here,
In the blackest depths of nowhere,
Where nothing meets naught,
I have come to sit a while
To study silence.
