The Night I Lost My Friend

Absence of light is found in the dark night shadows lurking around waiting for sound I am lost trying to find my way back to face the reality of everyday vision blinded by the moon day light can not come too soon air upon my neck while sweat is on my forehead my instincts say runaway instead breath in the air as I rapidly breathe the anxiety of not seeing whats in front has me wanting to leave secluded by the darkest hour Ive lost my strength I have no more power fighting against the unknown its time to go back home feeling like a failure out in the cold no one around no one to hold walking fast searching for light running hoping for sight of what may be ahead oh God don't let me be dead stars are non existent steady darkness and cold very persistent the bitter sweet feeling over takes with the decisions I have to make Nothing to loose but everything to gain moving forward forgetting the pain turning left then right trying to escape closing my eyes and leaving it up to fate adrenalin rushing through my body as I'm running out of time can't look back reclaiming what was once mine trying to find myself out of the night finally seeing me in the light
