Darkness Reflected

A great darkness fell
Bringing forth great sorrow
The light slowly fades
Draping the world in shadow
A darkness beyond dark
Impenetrable and bleak
Like a being of its own
In silence gently seeps.

Reflections
Of my soul
Casting forth
Misery and woe
The world
A bleak mirror
A gateway
Into my regret.

It's suffocates all life
As it paints the landscape dead
It steals away my sight
And clouds my heavy head
Deeper through the darkness
My dismal path weaves
If I don't find my way
This will surely kill me.

Reflections
Of my soul
Casting forth
Misery and woe
The world
A bleak mirror
A gateway
Into my regret.

The desolate creations
of my failing mind
The profound yearning
of my desperate soul
Forlorn to wander in solitude
Endlessly searching
for an end to this journey.

As hope abandons me
I am content to close my eyes
My body falls numb and broken
And my soul silently cries
I glimpse through the trees
To find the image of you
Distorted and fading
And I realize that I'm not far.
