The Darkest Light

Inspired by Michael Buble’ “Lost”

 

 

~Like a shooting star

So full of love and a lust for life

I’ve watched you from afar

But lately you’ve been so consumed

I barely recognize who you are

 

I feel you ache

And slowly it tears me apart

But you are not alone

I’ve been here from the start

Like a shadow, I’ve watched you grow

Carried your spirit, sheltered your heart 

 

You sit in that dark place

With those tears upon your face 

Barely breathing,

Hoping to disappear without a trace

Each day trying to be strong

Swallowing your words

Just to get along

Days drag on

Nights sustained alone

This place you’ve settled in

Is making your heart cold as stone

The simple sentiments

Are but a breathless eco

Which makes you question

What you already know

 

This love you once knew

Has become so strange

Making yourself crazy

Wondering what has changed

Trying to control your emotions

That you’ve locked deep within 

As anger consumes

Your patience grows thin

Feeling you can’t win

So you’re slowly giving in 

 

The signs have always been there

Now the writings’ become clear

Everything’s moving so fast

Slipping from your grasp

But don’t be sad

Just like everything else

This, too shall pass

 

I know things don’t seem so right

The once bright future

Suddenly doesn’t look too bright

But you are not alone,

I’m here for you

I won’t let you give up

Without putting up a fight

 

Ill be your shoulder

Your annoying conscience

And your guide

And when you need me

I’ll be here, right by your side
