THE GLOOM

  waited  all  my  life,

  for  just  one  chance,

          ...to  get  it  right

 maybe it came,

         and  i  just  didn't  know...

 if  that's  the  case,

  was  all  my  time

  here,  a  waste?

  taste  of  sorrow,

  bitter  as  a  knife.

  in  an  open wound...

  twisting  around,

  i'm  back  in  the  gloom.

        been  here  all  this  time.

 never  had  peace  of  mind.

        pain,

 ...stretching  out  across  my  sight.

        i  just  want  to  feel  again.

 step  into  the  light,

  ...falling  down

  see  it coming...

  feeling  the  impending  doom.

      stuck  here  in  the gloom.

        just  like..  

 a  razor  cuts,

       before  you  feel  it..

 you're  drowning,  

       in  the  mire.

scarred,  by  more  than

       just  fire.

  i'll  sit  here;  and

       i'll  wait...  

  for  the  demon,

       the  one  we  

  call...  fate.

       pouring  all  over  my  hope

 over  the  rocks  of

       chance.

maybe,  just  a  glance

       of  happiness,  so  clear

 so  bright,

       so  near.

  but,  darkness.

  it  always  looms...

  and,  as  always,

  i step  out,  into...

  the  gloom
