sometimes theres nobody there when you need them

 

all i can hear are the echoes

clipped and distorted

growing smaller and quieter

i follow blindly

hoping the source will be revealed

but filled with secret doubt

as the shadows grow taller

and fear closes in

what i chased becomes silence

and now i don't know where i am

or where i've been

or where i was going

or if it ever even mattered

what it was, i never knew

only what i thought

which never was

and as i am overwhelmed by panic

i fall to the ground head in hands

and cry out for help

from somewhere in the dark

a distorted voice

cries out and i am following

the echoes

blind and afraid

and too stupid to realize

i am the only one here
