"You're misunderstanding the role of best friend, I think. You only need to know what I deem is necessary to tell you. This is not one of those things, so quit asking." -Lacey Weatherford (Crush)

Sinking down
Deeper and deeper
Until I'm no more
Slowly fading into the dark
They welcome me with open arms
As the last bit of my soul is eaten alive
A pure heart not strong enough to survive
No family
No friends
No help to a friendly face
Until all that's left is nothing
The good become the bad
And the bad get bigger
   Stronger
And no one knows
What happened?
Who done it?
Why?
To someone so lovely
Turned so ugly
Lost it all
Darkness and shadows
Creep their way up
As I've made my way down
I've become apart of the evil inside me
