The Last Walk In the Dark

Washed away in the rain...
Only scars from the pain...

Trickling down are new smiles...
A soul stretched out for miles...

Bent in two from harsh lonely days...
Those little demons had their ways...

Spikes of fear can never again penetrate...
Pushed to the edge but I will never hate...

A floorless walk over hot coals...
But in the end that's how I roll...
