In Bitter Darkness

---

In bitter darkness dwells a troubled mind.
While longing for a true love to adore,
Deep loneliness is all that it can find.

Sweet fantasies play brief and then rewind,
Deep midnight dreams upon a rocky shore,
In bitter darkness dwells a troubled mind.

The darkling madness never far behind,
Like rotten fruit, ebony at its core,
Deep loneliness is all that it can find.

Pain floats like foam upon the churning brine;
Emotions on a sea without support,
In bitter darkness dwells a troubled mind.

Magnetically, anger becomes aligned
With memories, strewn vast upon the floor,
Deep loneliness is all that it can find.

To bitter fate, its soul becomes resigned;
Blindly slamming shut the iron door,
In bitter darkness dwells a troubled mind,
Deep loneliness is all that it can find.
