Pathways Dark

Lazy clouds hang in the sky But darkness shrouds their evil play They wander here to me this day I hear a grumble, not a sigh An evil breeze has much to say It led me to this place today Was just out there she had to die I reached for her she pulled away You screamed "It's better now this way" She didn't even want to try Her body sank her life was gone No one could search till the next dawn She didn't even say goodbye She sank and now to all she's gone In my mind I still hear her song I had no time to even cry It was ten years ago today I sit here every year and pray The darkness now it fills my eyes It's come for me at last today Soon I will too be on my way
