I've searched for light in darkened places,
fought demons in my head.
I've searched the desert for an oasis,
found pain and grief instead.
I stood alone, could not be helped,
consumed by all my fear.
Inside my mind I tried to run,
when I sensed him coming near.
I know the pain was not a dream,
I know I had to die.
I know my beating heart was stopped,
and no one heard me cry.
