Into The Black

Look into my eyes,
It’s my heart magnified 100 times,
Every emotion shows.
If you would just look.
See me.
My darkness.
The place I am lost in.
The things people refuse to see.
Pain.
So they look away,
Not willing to break their happiness,
To help ease another's pain.
Emptiness that could be filled.
They cannot fill themselves.
The ones who cry in the dark
Of their rooms at night.
Waiting till sleep closes their eyes.
Pounding on the walls that cage them,
With helpless fists,
Waiting till sleep,
Takes away their pain.
