rlm@0 1 Lost

rlm@0 5 The light, it cannot reach me here.
rlm@0 6 It's rays don't go this far.
rlm@0 7 Even they turn back before the darkness devours them.
rlm@0 8 Yet I find myself lost here,
rlm@0 9 on these cold and desolate plains.
rlm@0 10 I don't know where I am nor where I'm going.
rlm@0 11 Darkness stretches outwards, an infinite expanse of loneliness,
rlm@0 12 blessed only with the solace of teardrops.
rlm@0 13
rlm@0 14 I am alone here,
rlm@0 15 Lost where you can never find me.
rlm@0 16 I cannot find my way,
rlm@0 17 begging each shadow for help.
rlm@0 18 But my pleas fall on deaf ears and I must continue forward.
rlm@0 19 Alone.
rlm@0 20
rlm@0 21 This well traveled route of agony and despair,
rlm@0 22 it knows me well by now.
rlm@0 23 Always harkening me back to it's haunting paths and dark mazes.
rlm@0 24 I am lost to it,
rlm@0 25 unable to escape it's grasp upon me.
rlm@0 26 I always pass the same sign,
rlm@0 27 always cross the same frozen stream.
rlm@0 28 'You are nowhere,'
rlm@0 29 the sign states in letters the color of blood.
rlm@0 30 And I shiver at the sight,
rlm@0 31 but continue forwards into the encompassing darkness.
rlm@0 32 "Where am I?" I ask.
rlm@0 33 But there is no answer.
rlm@0 34 "Who am I?" I plead.
rlm@0 35 But silence answers my call.
rlm@0 36 "Please save me..." I whimper.
rlm@0 37 But no one comes for me.
rlm@0 38
rlm@0 39 So I cry.
rlm@0 40
rlm@0 41 I finally collapse along the winding path,
rlm@0 42 my tear soaked dress fluttering around me as the wind picks up.
rlm@0 43 I sob bitter tears,
rlm@0 44 cursing my lost and lonely path,
rlm@0 45 praying for the light to illuminate the darkness.
rlm@0 46 But no one heeds my calls.
rlm@0 47 And I am left in the shadows to fend for myself.
rlm@0 48 To find my path when there is none.
rlm@0 49 To save myself from the shadows when I know that I can't.
rlm@0 50 So I cry.
rlm@0 51 Pounding my fists into the wet dirt of my lonely path,
rlm@0 52 I question whether it needs me upon it anymore.
rlm@0 53 Perhaps it is time I surrender,
rlm@0 54 that I give in to the inevitablity that I will forever be lost.
rlm@0 55 That my path will never take me anywhere but through these cold and dark shadows.
rlm@0 56 I laugh into the night sky,
rlm@0 57 the thunder echoing the madness that plays with my hair.
rlm@0 58 If only I give up,
rlm@0 59 I will be free.
rlm@0 60 I will be free...
rlm@0 61
rlm@0 62 But I cannot give up.
rlm@0 63 Not yet, at any right.
rlm@0 64 I have much left to tend to.
rlm@0 65 I have sights left unseen.
rlm@0 66 Perhaps I will never see them.
rlm@0 67 But I won't know if I don't try.
rlm@0 68 I struggle to my bare feet,
rlm@0 69 stumbling forward into the cold woods once more.
rlm@0 70 I know that I am lost.
rlm@0 71 But I pray that I will be found.
