The wonder doesn’t last,
The smiles fade away,
The hope from the past
Burns up today.
You held him too close,
There is no chance now,
To vainly suppose
He will keep his vow.
The shades burst too soon,
The night comes to wail,
Darkness takes the moon,
Silence takes the tale.
I stumbled and fell
There seemed to be a light ahead
But I could not see clearly
I tried to rise but slipped instead
And fell. There was pain
And the darkness of it matched
The darkness all around me.
I had felt a presence
Some time ago
Which coaxed me to get up and move on
Oh! Wish it had stayed!
But I can’t feel it anymore
The light ahead –
Is it a light?
I cannot tell.
Is it what I want?
What if that light
Is darker than this hell?
How do I know?
Should I get up and move
And chance my luck on that light?
Or do I sit and wait
For a presence in the darkness of this night?
