Alone in the darkness

I have seen your light

I have seen your darkness

I remember when the light was overwhelmed by darkness

I lost you 

You couldn't see the star I was holding 

I knew it would show you the way

Your back was turned towards me 

I tried to reach around to help you 

You were already to far far away

I turned around and saw the stairs shining in the darkness 

Giving me an escape 

showing me the way out

I turned around to tell you but you were to far gone

Running blindly the other way

Into your own darkness 

Away from my light

Alone I climbed one by one 

They were cold aching my ankles 

Slippery trying to bring back down into the abyss

One by one I climbed

Never looking back 

I could finally see it 

The faint dot of salvation 

The small shiny dot of hope 

I climbed faster

To fast

Slipping 

Falling 

I scraped my knee

I had blood on my hands

I looked back to see if there was help

No one

I'm alone in the darkness

Giving up 

No not an option not a choice

At the bottom the light was gone

But there was still hope

If I kept going I would reach the light 

Even from here

It's so dark I know the light is there

The star shines dimly 

Encouraging me 

I feel the strength I know I can go on 

I pick it up and climb towards hope 

I climb up towards my dreams 

Being alone in the darkness 

There is always hope

The light at the top or end of the tunnel
