Lonely Waters

The shade of black pierced your sight 
And you wondered where you would go 
In your thoughts you were so bright 
But this time you could not glow 

The weight of the world before you 
Arrests the beating of your heart 
It forbids you from going through 
Until it's time for your time to start 

Lonely waters flow 
For where worries could not grow 
The solemn wind brings the silence 
To tame the pierce of pestilence 

I could not sleep so I used my wakefulness to compose this
