Astray

Wandering aimlessly through the wilderness
My heart beats frantically
Looking every direction trying to find a point of reference
I run around unknowingly
Distancing myself from society
The setting sun is like a ticking time bomb
Each second that passes is a wasted opportunity
The sun finally makes its way over the horizon
My eyes watch as the sky turns ghostly black
I reach my hand out for the fading sun
Trying to grasp the last seed of hope
Darkness invades my distorted senses
Tears flow endlessly down my face
I come to a halt and sit under a decrepit tree
The horrors of night begin to creep in
As I stare into the forest's dark abyss
