You know me better

better than you thought

you thought that you lost me

you lost me in the dark

in the dark I was a spark

a spark that never gave up

never gave up trying

trying and surviving

surviving the chaos

the chaos you put me in

you put me into a cage

a cage with starving demons

demons that tore me into pieces

pieces that are now lost

lost in life forever

forever and even longer.

    Super desolate and hard-hitting, great work here.

    I enjoyed reading this one, sad as it is. Perhaps "gape" is a typo in your line "a spark that never gape up"
