In the Dark
Will I survive
this?
My own personal
hell that I've come
to reside in
This place that I tend
to dwell?
Where is that flashlight
when all that's
around me is darkness?
I thought I was getting
stronger
I thought I was moving
on
Only to find I don't know
how
and all that I need
is a hand to
hold
when it gets too dark-
which it sometimes does
and too lonely-
which it will without you
It's not you I want
or even need
anymore
It's my paranoia
that makes me think you
were
my soulmate
my one good thing
my greatest victory,
and that I'll never find it
again...
But what good is victory
if it only causes
you to lose?
And what good is a soulmate
who possesses no soul?
Give me that flashlight-
to find my way out
to shed some light
to blind you
To show you some proof
that you're
as lost as I am
maybe more than I'll ever be
and my light
can blind more
than your lies can.
