Life of Darkness

Living in darkness waiting alone
A jungle around me thick and unknown
Taking my dreams in sway
Hoping my demons will keep themselves away
Always keeping my emotions at bay
My mind always wondering wishing for more
My Heart always aching from the woes of before
Aching from lost loves
Thought to be true
Memories in sight of me and of you
Losing them my fault
When I caused them to closed the vault
Making myself take all the blame
Giving myself nothing but shame


Hoping my life would be more than this darkness
I find nothing but this strange place
Void of hope and lost in darkness
And soon hope escaped my grasp
My life was now void


I wonder through this dark place
With something less than a pace
Inside my own core
Almost missing the memories of before
Through my self made darkness
Far more than helpless
Knowing only the light given off
By the friends I hold dear
Slowly represses all of my fear
A light growing brighter and brighter each day
Helping me, guiding me, showing the way
Hope renewed
Hope pursued


As a dreamer
And a wisher
I welcomed this wondrous illusion
Bringing me out of my unforgiving confusion
She then grabbed my hand
Pulling me behind her
To a strange new land
With nothing to confine her
Through the darkness of my soul
Life seeming no more droll  
Life now came from my once mangled soul
