I open the gate
Walk down the rode
The streets are empty
Secrets still left untold

The love is gone
The smile has faded
The heart is black
The laughs have vanished
The darkness surrounded
Enclosed and overlapped

I walk through the dark
Then I stop at the path
One foot on, one foot off
Slowly taking my last fresh breath

The path leads down
The rode of pain
The rode of torture
The rode of terror
The rode of sorrow
The rode of confusion

With every step
Breathing gets harder
My mind overloads
My eyes get blurry
All sounds turn to mute
My head starts spinning
Balance escapes me
The ground slips from under my feet

The gravel meets my face
There’s a bottle broken by my hands
Blood pours out of my arms

I lay there for awhile
Wondering what to do
Should I move on?
Keep going?
Suffer more of this pain?
I laid there and cried

Moving forward
With tears in my eyes
I think I see it
Am I imagining it?
Is it really there?
The end?
The end to this suffering?

My anxiety increases
My feet move faster
I suddenly have the urge
To move forward, to survive this pain
My motivation to continue?
My strength to move on?
It all came from you.
You’re my escape from reality
