rlm@0: The light, it cannot reach me here.
rlm@0: It's rays don't go this far.
rlm@0: Even they turn back before the darkness devours them.
rlm@0: Yet I find myself lost here, 
rlm@0: on these cold and desolate plains. 
rlm@0: I don't know where I am nor where I'm going.
rlm@0: Darkness stretches outwards, an infinite expanse of loneliness,
rlm@0: blessed only with the solace of teardrops.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I am alone here,
rlm@0: Lost where you can never find me.
rlm@0: I cannot find my way,
rlm@0: begging each shadow for help.
rlm@0: But my pleas fall on deaf ears and I must continue forward.
rlm@0: Alone.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: This well traveled route of agony and despair,
rlm@0: it knows me well by now. 
rlm@0: Always harkening me back to it's haunting paths and dark mazes.
rlm@0: I am lost to it, 
rlm@0: unable to escape it's grasp upon me. 
rlm@0: I always pass the same sign, 
rlm@0: always cross the same frozen stream.
rlm@0: 'You are nowhere,'
rlm@0: the sign states in letters the color of blood.
rlm@0: And I shiver at the sight, 
rlm@0: but continue forwards into the encompassing darkness.
rlm@0: "Where am I?" I ask.
rlm@0: But there is no answer.
rlm@0: "Who am I?" I plead.
rlm@0: But silence answers my call.
rlm@0: "Please save me..." I whimper.
rlm@0: But no one comes for me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: So I cry. 
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I finally collapse along the winding path, 
rlm@0: my tear soaked dress fluttering around me as the wind picks up.
rlm@0: I sob bitter tears, 
rlm@0: cursing my lost and lonely path,
rlm@0: praying for the light to illuminate the darkness.
rlm@0: But no one heeds my calls.
rlm@0: And I am left in the shadows to fend for myself.
rlm@0: To find my path when there is none.
rlm@0: To save myself from the shadows when I know that I can't.
rlm@0: So I cry. 
rlm@0: Pounding my fists into the wet dirt of my lonely path,
rlm@0: I question whether it needs me upon it anymore.
rlm@0: Perhaps it is time I surrender, 
rlm@0: that I give in to the inevitablity that I will forever be lost.
rlm@0: That my path will never take me anywhere but through these cold and dark shadows.
rlm@0: I laugh into the night sky, 
rlm@0: the thunder echoing the madness that plays with my hair.
rlm@0: If only I give up, 
rlm@0: I will be free.
rlm@0: I will be free...
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: But I cannot give up.
rlm@0: Not yet, at any right.
rlm@0: I have much left to tend to.
rlm@0: I have sights left unseen. 
rlm@0: Perhaps I will never see them.
rlm@0: But I won't know if I don't try.
rlm@0: I struggle to my bare feet, 
rlm@0: stumbling forward into the cold woods once more.
rlm@0: I know that I am lost.
rlm@0: But I pray that I will be found.
