Lost in a World/Where I Don't Belong

the awakening sun breaks the darkness

bringing the light of a new day

with it comes

lost desires and loneliness

they want to walk with me

be my companions throughout the day

when I see them coming

I close my eyes

look the other way

I lock the door

close the shades

think of things that will chase them away

they always seem to be out there

like a Lion

hunting, stalking its prey

laying in wait

watching, for their chance to slip in

sometimes they do, sometimes I win

now it's time for the sun to sleep

a blanket of darkness will soon lay at my feet

those that came to visit in the day

have now gone away

now that night is settling in

a new world will begin

sitting alone in my room

emptiness will consume me soon

nights darkness has taken away the light

smothering it

taking its life

within this darkness walks memories

reaching out for life

to smother me

tomorrow the sun will awaken again

then all of this will start over again
