Lost (I - Ii)

Part I – The Journey of Reminiscence How often have I traversed The lonely depths of my soul? It seems Near an eternity since I’ve Felt something…real Perhaps everything is truly gone, Perhaps I am the one that ceased to exist… I do not know… Can anyone ever truly know? I remember … Light I remember … Joy I remember … Anger I remember … Might I remember … Innocence I remember … Love I remember … Angels But wait… I see something… Is it really there? Could it possibly be …? Light … O Cruel Fate! Why must this be? Such pain in losing one’s existence does One face, but why must I face it Ever so endlessly? My mind retreats to old times – my past Such infantile ignorance I lived in… Is this any better though? Perhaps… This vast nothingness that Overwhelms me sheds but a single ray of light… Light burns… Purge me… Purge me… Purge me… Part II – Torments of the Soul Lament not for my darkest rest for it Is not as it may seem… Forever in this darkness I dream… I dream of all that is good I dream of all that is wicked I dream of all that was And all that ever will be… I remember the Moon I remember the Abyss I remember the Night I remember the Dreams I remember the Years A blind man in a dark room An insight of forlorn grief Will I ever truly see light? What is light? What is dark? Can I remember? Have I forgotten? What is this in my palm? Such warmth… It tingles with such spirited joy… It is not fading… It is getting stronger… Or am I fading? Perhaps… Perhaps… Perhaps…
