The Shadows of life's bitterness covers my heart Memories of a time full of poetry and warmth are fading Unable to resist, darkness monopolises me Controls my body like a grotesque puppet player The cruelty of life is corrupting my mind Overwhelmed by dark thoughts Questioning myself I wander through the winding paths of my bleeding soul Trying to fight to the bitter end Having the unplumbed depths of the human soul in mind A last-ditch effort to overcome darkness fails miserable All hope is gone Vanished into thin air
