An unfortunate journey

Through a bleak sea of loneliness

I carved through the waves of grief

In a black vastness of self doubt

I have never felt so alone

So pitiful and wretched and low

I'm tried by a terrible wind

The misery and the pains blow

The clouds of grey come overhead

A storm will hunt me down

And rip the guts out of my body

That I would surely drown

Thrashing out at torment and pain

The maddened sea engulfs me

I let myself be swallowed up

The magnificent weight upon me

Deeper I go, deeper down

Didn't think it could get any blacker

The cold bites, the pressure builds

I think I no longer matter

When lovers die and friendships fade

When kin all lie forgotten

The gates of agony spew forth

Your memories, stinking and rotten

So deep now I feel so numb

I'm ravaged by utter loss

The guilt, the grief, the astounding pain

My body, they all will wash

I hope I ne'er return to life

Oh, Christ just let me go

Let death devour my simple soul

Lest my misery grow
