Well below the margin
Of truth and sanity
Lies an empty space
A deep and dark cavity.
A place where fear resides
Where reason implodes
Where you feel alone
Your secrets exposed.
No cover or shelter
Stripped of your pride
Barren and cold
So shallow inside.
No walls to protect you
No mask to disguise
The weakness and fears
Youโve kept deep inside.
Crying out to be heard
Frightened and scared
No one to protect you
No one really cares.
Left on your own
With promises broken
Echoing words
Unmercifully spoken.
Overcome by heartache
Overwhelmed with sadness
Thereโs got to be
An end to this madness.
