She woke up with a start.

The same dream once again..

Something was not right.

Sanity had long fled her thoughts.

But the night, it was long and dark..

Melancholy strains filtered though

Sad, lonely, depressing

A solitary light in the distance

Beckoned her forward

An eerie feeling surrounded her

Where had all the love gone

And left a dull ache in its wake

She slowly reached out for the light

Fumbling, stuttering but steadfast

And the light extinguished.

The all pervading darkness

Was much like her life

She looked back for a moment

The same room, the same bed..

An upturned bottle of sleeping pills

Clutched in an outstretched arm

The only aberration

The shattered dreams

The agonising heartbreaks

Invisible

Just like herself

Now
