Loneliness

The leaves crunch under my feet

All crushed and dried up;

The road in front me winds long

And I walk, like a lonely pup

The trees, my only companions

Are leaving me, them too;

The mountains, they stay close

Looming in the darkness that just grew

Darker and darker the stars blink out

The woods ain't friendly no more;

Now whispering to each other, dire secrets

I now have, no wings to soar

The light inside me's gone off

No hope left;

Cant see the beginning, nor the end

My faith has been the victim of theft

The cold air whips around me

The mist, it just seems to grow;

I cant rely on anything now

No friend, nor a foe

Then all of a sudden the path lights up

I follow, with a little hope, a little doubt;

As I step onto the lit path, I think,

Maybe, just maybe, there might be a way out
