All I Know

It's hard
The ground when
You fall down and
Land on your hands and knees
But this pain-
Burning, tearing, seething
Pain.
It's all I know, its
Become a part of me

Darkness
All I can see, it
Surrounds me, yet
I can't think of life without it
Darkness-

One month of good
I think I'm getting better, I-
Think I'm slowly healing
Maybe-
Maybe time really does
Heal.
But no, darkness
Comes back heavier
Comes back stronger
It becomes me.

When I've lost it all
Nothing left to call my own
Not my heart, not even my own
Mind. This darkness
Is all I own.

The engraved memories
Full of weapons
Full of tears
Nightmares of the past-
All I truly own
All I've ever known

Because it's me
The darkness, the pain
The torments, the tears
They are my only possession.
It's all I own

All I've ever-

Known.
