I stand alone in the dark

I stand alone in the dark
Nothingness surrounds
I am ablaze, I almost glow
Yet nothing else is in view

I scream into the blackness
I am answered by silence
No echo, no noise
Where am I, what do I do

Whats that? A light?
It is but what lies on the other side
What does it mean? Is it for me?
Must find the light, must see what is there.

I being to walk, then run at the light
It gets no closer to me still out of reach
How far is it? When do I reach it.
I run on, faster and faster and get no closer.

I run until my muscles ache
I run until acid pumps in my veins
I run until my knees scream
I run until my feet bleed.

I look forward never looking back
Running towards I don't know what
Running from I don't want to return
Leaving bloody footprints in my path

I can't run anymore, have to stop
I sit down in the darkness and the light fades away
A sound pierces my ears to the point they bleed
What is that sound? Why does it haunt me now?

The sound is my heart breaking
The pieces falling on the floor around me
Pieces so small it's almost dust
Like sand it lays around me

I play in the dust,
My finger draws patterns
It can not be fixed
There is no hope
