rlm@2 1 Lost

rlm@2 5 The light, it cannot reach me here.
rlm@2 6 It's rays don't go this far.
rlm@2 7 Even they turn back before the darkness devours them.
rlm@2 8 Yet I find myself lost here,
rlm@2 9 on these cold and desolate plains.
rlm@2 10 I don't know where I am nor where I'm going.
rlm@2 11 Darkness stretches outwards, an infinite expanse of loneliness,
rlm@2 12 blessed only with the solace of teardrops.
rlm@2 13
rlm@2 14 I am alone here,
rlm@2 15 Lost where you can never find me.
rlm@2 16 I cannot find my way,
rlm@2 17 begging each shadow for help.
rlm@2 18 But my pleas fall on deaf ears and I must continue forward.
rlm@2 19 Alone.
rlm@2 20
rlm@2 21 This well traveled route of agony and despair,
rlm@2 22 it knows me well by now.
rlm@2 23 Always harkening me back to it's haunting paths and dark mazes.
rlm@2 24 I am lost to it,
rlm@2 25 unable to escape it's grasp upon me.
rlm@2 26 I always pass the same sign,
rlm@2 27 always cross the same frozen stream.
rlm@2 28 'You are nowhere,'
rlm@2 29 the sign states in letters the color of blood.
rlm@2 30 And I shiver at the sight,
rlm@2 31 but continue forwards into the encompassing darkness.
rlm@2 32 "Where am I?" I ask.
rlm@2 33 But there is no answer.
rlm@2 34 "Who am I?" I plead.
rlm@2 35 But silence answers my call.
rlm@2 36 "Please save me..." I whimper.
rlm@2 37 But no one comes for me.
rlm@2 38
rlm@2 39 So I cry.
rlm@2 40
rlm@2 41 I finally collapse along the winding path,
rlm@2 42 my tear soaked dress fluttering around me as the wind picks up.
rlm@2 43 I sob bitter tears,
rlm@2 44 cursing my lost and lonely path,
rlm@2 45 praying for the light to illuminate the darkness.
rlm@2 46 But no one heeds my calls.
rlm@2 47 And I am left in the shadows to fend for myself.
rlm@2 48 To find my path when there is none.
rlm@2 49 To save myself from the shadows when I know that I can't.
rlm@2 50 So I cry.
rlm@2 51 Pounding my fists into the wet dirt of my lonely path,
rlm@2 52 I question whether it needs me upon it anymore.
rlm@2 53 Perhaps it is time I surrender,
rlm@2 54 that I give in to the inevitablity that I will forever be lost.
rlm@2 55 That my path will never take me anywhere but through these cold and dark shadows.
rlm@2 56 I laugh into the night sky,
rlm@2 57 the thunder echoing the madness that plays with my hair.
rlm@2 58 If only I give up,
rlm@2 59 I will be free.
rlm@2 60 I will be free...
rlm@2 61
rlm@2 62 But I cannot give up.
rlm@2 63 Not yet, at any right.
rlm@2 64 I have much left to tend to.
rlm@2 65 I have sights left unseen.
rlm@2 66 Perhaps I will never see them.
rlm@2 67 But I won't know if I don't try.
rlm@2 68 I struggle to my bare feet,
rlm@2 69 stumbling forward into the cold woods once more.
rlm@2 70 I know that I am lost.
rlm@2 71 But I pray that I will be found.
