In the Dark

the waters are swaying so angrily

the winds are blowing with such fury

the skies so bleak, no light can penetrate

i stand on a precipice

watching life pass me by

i see the broken shambles

the jagged rocks await my fall

the tears have left their trace

the wounds no longer bleed

the scabs are dried over

i hold on to a promise

that just seems hollow now

i cling to emotions

for they have ravaged me

the darkness has enclosed me

the coldness wrapped its flimsy arms

the light long since abandoned

i no longer expect

too weary of the race run

i cling to a hope

to be found in the stillness
