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