Dark Path

Lying in the predawn light underneath black empty sky chill wind blowing across bare skin feeling a desperate need to flee empty heart echoes the night desperate longing for what once was only darkness found there in heavy pounding into the night looking down nebulous path drifting mists of memories obscured seeking joys of loves once known somewhere lost on memories Lane trying hard to remember when of joys found with each of them loves once known in bright sunlight somehow now lost in the night stumbling dragging hard footsteps vision blurred by running tears ears are filled with sobbing pain heart is empty of what once was cold bright stars overhead cast little light upon the scene memories now have faded away only shadows now recalled hard I try to remember each one of joyful walks hand in hand passions shared oh so strong of the joys we shared that recall the names of faces lost trying to remember the scent of them of the touch of their skin as we wrestled in the nights rocky lies uneven ground pulling the eyes from the scene to each step carefully made seeking not to fall again where is the warmth of the day bright sunlight to warm the skin joyful laughter to fill the ears and of feeling so full filled memories of places where we were of flowing music and dancing steps crowds of friends all around when you once belonged to me memories lie along the way of the ones I once knew of the loves that we shared lost in shadows dark and grim now long lost in endless night seeking that once was then only dark mists on the path all is lost in dark of night
