Darkness Has Come

GrandFather hold me, Please hold me.

I am in a darkness I have never known, 

My light has drifted from me.

Or is it clouds that have gathered 

That keep it from me.

I know not this place, 

Where I can no longer trust myself.

How can anyone trust one 

Who has lost trust in himself.

Once lost can it ever be regained, 

Perhaps I've lost.

It will take another life 

For this one to find himself.

I fear this darkness, 

I do not wish to remain here in this growing colder,

Shadows taller, feeling ever smaller space.

GrandFather hold me, Please hole me.

I can no longer run, there is no where left to go.

I can no longer hide, 

It is pointless when I'm completely exposed.

I am here alone with only my tears 

Now to bathe my sorrows in.

Everyone sees this darkness 

I have been swallowed in.

There are no shinny spaces 

Behind my eyes, only shadows.

My laughter has left me.

Only moans of a once happy heart are heard.

Who would want such a one to be with.

GrandFather I can turn only to you, 

Hold me, Please hold me.

Darkness my friend.

Sleep my only refuge.

Quiet reminds me of nothing lost.

Alone I walk into the lonely night.

Days stretching on Forever.

Nights that barely linger.

Fear of being seen in my Shadowed Heart.

No one to share this Emptiness.

No one to rest my aching head upon.

All is gone.

GrandFather Please hold me, Please hold me, 

Please Please hold me.
