Flicker Of Hope

Tonight the dark feels darker 
As if the light is trying to hide
Even the sounds of the night 
Have been silenced or died

There's no moon softly glowing 
Or any stars illuminating the sky
There's only this vast emptiness 
I'm able to grasp with my eye 

The darkness consumes my being 
An eerie feeling begins to arise
I observe my surroundings in fright
Only desolation fills up my eyes 

Lost in this darkness that is life
Im looking and hoping for a light
That little flicker of distant hope
That will assure me I'll be all right
