A Lurk Of Pain

A Lurk of Pain

In the depths of the night, a circle of pain

Lurks in the shadows, in a quiet refrain

It whispers of sorrow, of tears and of woe

And it lingers around, wherever we go

Loneliness creeps in, like a thief in the night

Stealing our peace, and our will to fight

Leaving us lost, and drowning in fear

With nothing to hold, and nobody near

A stolen hope, so precious and bright

Now shattered and broken, in the midst of the night

Leaves us in darkness, with no way to see

The light of tomorrow, that could set us free

We search for a beacon, a glimmer of light

To guide us through darkness, and to make things right

But the circle of pain, seems to grow and expand

And it takes hold of us, with an iron-like hand

We cry out for help, for someone to hear

But our pleas go unanswered, and fall on deaf ears

And we wonder if life, is a cruel, twisted game

Where pain is our only companion, and nothing's the same

But amidst the despair, and the sadness we feel

There's a strength that we have, that's buried so deep

It's a resilience and hope, that never truly dies

And it's what keeps us going, even when we want to hide

So let us hold on, to that flicker of light

And let it guide us, through the darkest of nights

For we are not alone, in this lurk of pain

And together we can rise, and feel alive again.
