A Child Alone

Nightlights of belief A blood-red river underneath A child stands alone Searching for a new path home An ocean of command A fading doorway in the sand A child walks alone Another nightlight guides him home Caverns of deceit Broken glass and bloody feet A child crawls alone The raging ocean calls him home A shelter from the pain Now that he forgets his name The child bleeds alone The shadow of his nightlight shown The nightlight drifts away There’s nothing left to ever say The child dies alone The only place he could call home
