Drifting in a sea of chaos,
thoughts turbulent and chaotic, lost
and feeling so alone, no
one to turn to, no
one to reach to. Alone,
isolated, weighed down by
blackness and despair.

Once I had someone to
turn to, a love so
great that it lifted me
up, brightening all that was
around me. Now I stand
lost, alone, feeling torn inside,
despair coming over me
in waves of anguish.

I would cry, if I
had tears in which to
shed. I would water the
earth with these tears of
pain and aloneness. Turning
in confusion, looking, searching
for that one spark of
light that made my life
worth living.

Seeking, forever, until the end
of time, for that which
was never mine. Dark thoughts,
surrounding me, becoming me.

I am that reflection.
