She chases darkness like an addict

One foot always in the night

Body twisted staggers

Finds discomfort in the light

Heartbroken from her losses

So many now she’s gone astray

Begging strangers for their pity

All her joy has gone away

Wallows in her misery

A friend who always lends an ear

Shuts out those who love her

And ones who want to end her fear

Every shallow breath she takes

Pulls her deeper to the grave

Never thinks of those around her

She is simply darkness’s slave
