Light in Darkness
Like a failing leaf I stumble
Falling into oblivion I shudder
Watching with eyes wide shut
I forsake convention for bliss
Inviting me is the darkness eternal
Underneath the layers of dust
Can't fathom what lies beyond
Perhaps a smile of a loved one
Perhaps a face not seen for long
embrace not held when it was time
A heart can only take so much
Perhaps mine is made of stone
Beneath every smile, every breath
It aches it shatters it melts it breaks
The world calls to me oblivious
Not knowing how I loath its existence
Glimmers of happiness, a child's voice
a companion's embrace, light in darkness
