When,Where,Why

Dark have been my dreams of late Far, too far has been heavens gate. "With all my heart no" I turn often away. As I embark on this unsure path will you stay? As I stagger, just to be, and give in to the pain: Can I trust you? Can I believe you'll remain? Lost has been my soul in these days. Nothing could warm me, even summer's rays, "I wish none of this had happened" I cry. As I twist and turn asking when, where, why? As I face the truth, can you strengthen me? Can I hold onto you, as my friends around me flee? Weak: my heart beats in the here and now. Triumph I feel, before even taking final bow. "Freeeeeedoommmm" I can now shout, as I unsheathe the truth knowing it packs clout, as I hurtle toward the enemy singing his doom. Can I unleash this strength of yours in my gathering gloom?
