Why am I drawn
To the darkness
To death?
Why in all that I have
Can I not find the
Light
To guide me back?
So many suffer,
So much more than I.
And yet it is I
Who cannot see
The joy in life
In laughter
In love
It all just drains away
Leaving me
Hollow,
Empty,
Alone.
There is no solace
In the dark.
So why do I
Go there?
Oh, to seize
The light again.
To want it,
To hold it,
To cherish it again.
As I did when I was
Young.
Instead,
I sit here again
Alone in the dark
Wondering where
The light has
Gone.
