Lost

   It's Burning. This path I've chosen. A great flame turning everything to ashes. Nothing around me is staying still. Falling, falling, into the pits of this inferno. Dancing along with the fire as they meet their ends.

   I'm lost in the midst of this firestorm. One step forward and I'll burn. One step backward and I'll cease to exist. My legs tremble, knowing that they're unable to save me. My eyes close, choosing not to witness my own doom. My heart races, in fear of the inevitable.

   I stand there, frozen in place.

   Alone, because that's what I'm meant to be. I wait for the moment when all of this will come to an end. I wait for the flames to tire and die. I wait for my legs to stop shaking, my eyes to open, and my heart to accept its fate.

   And when it does, I'm engulfed by darkness. Knowing this cycle way too well, I move into the shadows. Blinded by this pitch black void. No one could ever find me here.

   I'm lost all again.

You

    I saw you when I looked at the moon.     I heard you in the silence of the walk back home.     I felt you with every step I took.    ...
