Lost Soul

Lost soul that cries for the light Like a burnt out fire all that remains is ash Black as coal, how can it ever be bright? Days become nights and nights are a nightmare How can it cleanse itself of all the deeds? Deeds that brought sleepless nights and nightmares A lost soul that cries for the light Storms unbearable Happiness on lock down Loneliness starts to creep in like a thief in the night A dark corner seems to be the only sanctuary Down on the floor; sit still, head plated on the knees Tear flow like rainy days A lost soul that cries for the light Stuck in a reality over came by yin and yang So easy for the good to turn bad Storms unbearable Happiness on lock down Now all that is left is the will to survive Warm days become cold and cold days are unbearable A lost soul that cries for the light Where can the light be found?
