Painstaker

the darkness surrounds me
it's hands are grasping hold
i reach for help but it's too late
it has me now
its cold hands embrace me
leaving me gasping for air
i am in the darkest pit
the forbidden place
i can go in but can't return
you can watch me leave
but can't follow
i must go alone
yet there is still hope
a small ray of light
a tiny breath could blow it out
an uttered word could shut it up
i see help more clearly now
and it is familiar
oh how i long to just reach out
it would come so easy
only
my limbs are unmovable
you reach out to me
and the darkness lifts away
the dark clouds sink deeper
but far away from me
you have saved me from the worst kind of pain
you took it all upon yourself
it wasn't hard for me
for i just accepted
but you
you are the giver
