I fell asleep

Laying in a pile of ashes

I found a place where shadows

Covered the earth

Dark spirit roamed the forest

I could hear them

They’re menacing voice surrounded me

I ran through the darkness

Looking for a way out

⋆

✫

Overtime I gave up

I fell into the darkness

You reached out your hand

Full of light and warmth

You tried to pull me out

You told me

We could find a way out

Or make our own light trying

You saw sunlight in the horizon

My only wish

Was that I could have believed you

⋆

✫

My cold heart beat for you

But all I could hear was

They’re cackling

The gnashing of their fangs

The dark spirits never left

They pierced my heart

With their poison

They told me

No one could save me now

I’m all alone

I had to escape

⋆

✫

I made a fire

To drown out the darkness

To find my own way out

Even if I had to make the ultimate sacrifice,

Leaving you

I was too weak

I couldn’t control it

Smoke filled the sky above

Flames swallowed the ground below

⋆

✫

I could hardly hear the roaring flames

Over the dark spirits laughter

And your screams

I never meant to hurt you

I lost everything

In the fire

I lost you

⋆

✫

You never saw the shadows

Only the sun hiding above the trees

You tried to help me see it

But I couldn’t

I wasted my time looking for a light

That never existed

The only real light was you

Tears rolled down my cheeks

Only to be swallowed up by the flames

⋆

✫

I woke up

Surrounded by the ashes

Of what was a forest

I could see the sun

Rising in the horizon

I finally saw it

The beauty of the light

Is this what you saw?

⋆

✫

But most importantly,

I saw you

I looked into your eyes

But all I could see

Was the same darkness you saw in me

Your light was gone

The dark spirits

Filled your soul

I reached out my hand

I told you

We could get through this together

This time I’ll be your light
