person touching their face

I cry a tear of hate but it is lost in helplessness. The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul For the deepest love I have has dissolved before my eyes. My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance. All emotion is consumed by an inner silence. All grief is unassuaged by disconsolate tears. I want for nothing, I live for nothing. I am waiting to die, but I am afraid dying. Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer. Crestfallen emotion. Wallowing in guilt trying and drowning forevermore Falling deeper into fear. My inner self is now a sleeper of stone.‌ ~ Anathema‌ ‌‌
