• As I lay here,
    Sadly moping
    I cast off fear,
    briefly hoping
    That my love would be near
    or I shall be again groping
    in the darkness with a face stained in tears.

    As I stared,
    my hope dying,
    my mind dared
    to try smiling
    Despite that no one cared
    about my love flying
    far too close to the sun to ignore the glare.

    I lay cold
    On the dirt
    feeling old.
    My heart hurt.
    I felt a pain that could never be consoled
    as I became completely inert.
    and felt the darkness take over, leaving my love untold.
