Words of a Poet

“Path of Darkness”

Down this path of life
I lost you somewhere along the way
Now it’s dark
I can’t see you
Or even feel you anymore…
you’ve slipped away.

Down this path of life
You lost me somewhere along the way
I was always right behind you,
but you got too far ahead.
I tried to catch up,
but you were already out of reach
The lights turned off
And the world became dark.

Down this path of life
I lost myself
I was left alone…
and didn’t know what to do
I was scared, but I couldn’t hide
The sky went black,
my eyes went blind,
darkness surrounded me,
when you left me behind
