The Box

There it lies in front of me, the box

Inside a piece of my soul

My brothers in arms

 

Those who took their lives

Succumbing to their minds

The guilt of surviving

When others did not

 

Inside the box darkened abyss

Till they could no longer bare the pain

Feeling lost with nowhere to turn

The darkness came so quickly

 

They could not defend against its’ attacks

So they shut it down the same way

They found it, with a violent end

 

And so, here lies a brother I never met

In the peaceful darkness in the box
