A Moon With No Light

A Poem by Mel

A darkness that doesn't seem to leave

I know I have many to call
But why does it feel like I have no one
You say you're there
But I don't see you or hear you
I don't know how much more I can take
There's an anchor wrapped around my feet
And I feel it close to the edge
Ready to pull me in
Where's the light at the end of the tunnel?
Because it feels like my eyes are closed
And I can't see anything anymore
This darkness won't leave me alone
There's a full moon
With my clouds hiding the light from me
My breaths grow short
As I drown myself in my own thoughts
I'm hanging by a thread
Still I fight
This anchor will not fall
And I will learn how to take it off
But not today
Today I still fall apart
As I wait for the sky to clear
