How did it come to this?
Through bleary eyes I see
Ragged, threadbare patches of your shirt
What have you done to deserve this?
Worn and weary
You still labor to carry me
Upon your strong shoulders
What have I done to deserve this?
I fumble
Groping blindly
For anything I once was
I hear your voice dimly
Before it is swallowed
by the suffocating vast emptiness
That once was filled with
Light and Life
All that remains is
the black terror inside
I cannot escape
There is no Hope
There is no Light
There is no Life
Where is the light that was promised me
When all other lights have gone out?
I would forsake all to
slip into Shadow
Why do you keep me here?
Why won't you let me go?
I ache to be released
into the ecstasy of surrender
But you keep me bound to you
Though it is as fine as
the slenderest of elven thread
It is stronger than mithril
And it pierces the darkness
that veils my soul
The light that was promised to shine
When all other lights have gone out
My Hope
My Life
My Light
My Sam
