Alone in the Dark - Chapter 1

So my life has come to this.

Alone again in the dark.

Tear stains streaming a path down my face.

Eyes red once more.

Body aches deep to the bones.

Heart broken and lost.

No one to tell me everything will be ok.

No one to stroke my hair, wet with sweat and tears.

No one to hold me, when my body is wracked with pain.

So my life has come to this.

Alone again in the dark.

My pain is my own.

How do I heal myself without help from another?

So long have I depended on another to drag me from the depths of despair.

So long have I depended on the comforting touch of another.

So long have I depended on the approval from another.

So long have I depended on another to keep me sane and stable.

How do I break free of this dependence and be my own lover, confidant and friend?

How do I start to try and feel happy when I am alone in the dark?

How do I start to see meaning in my life?

So my life has come to this.

Alone again in the dark.

But the darkness is now comforting, and my fears and hurt have faded into the darkness and everything is alright.
