Darkness Waits

Time shifts, his attention is tweaked for a brief moment.
A usual feeling, but why?
Faint memories... was that the past or just a dream?
A great purpose awaits him, is he ready or still waiting?
Restless and tired....can't sleep.
Dark memories await when he closes his eyes....


His fist is clenched as he shouts to the heavens.
No response...
Single tears run slowly, they dance to the beat of the wind.
Warm for October, but he hates the day.
First love...
First death...


Time passes, eventually old friendships fade into hate.
Wake up!
There is nothing for you here...
Darkness is your new best friend...you start to welcome the cold.
No where left to turn, its time to run...time to heal...time to turn the page.


A new day...years past.
New faces, new responsibilities...a new love?
Trying to shake the darkness, he still moans in his sleep.
He continues on, searching for his new light, his new place, his new...home.
One day at a time he makes his escape.


All the while
He never forgets that pain
That anger...
That...understanding
A battle with himself...with his heart...


Time shifts... his attention is tweaked for a brief moment.
This time, no dreams, no dark anguish...
This time he's ready... to face the day... to face himself and to fight the darkness.
Your never alone...
