Light And Darkness (Nowhere Else to Go)

Running around
Nowhere to go
Nothing makes sense
Why can't I find it?

The walls crumble around me
There's nowhere to go.
Everything is dark
Now that my light is gone.

I pick through the debris
Looking for what's survived.
Now I attempt to rebuild
With missing and broken pieces.

But it's not quite right
The holes and emptiness overtake.
What's becoming is nothing,
Compared to what used to be.

But I must continue on into the darkness,
There's nowhere else to go.
The past is gone,
It's light wont come back.

And so I walk through the darkness
Feeling broken and incomplete
Trying not to look back
Hoping for a flicker of what used to be.

But I do look back.
And in that second the light shines again.
But it quickly fades
Enveloping me in the ever increasing darkness.

The farther I go the darker it gets
I want to turn back,
Return to my past
But it wont let me back in.

I'm forced on,
Rejected by the light.
Searching, tripping, falling
Fighting my way through the dark.

The tears come often
I can't understand
How something that no longer exists
Could cause so much pain.

I can only hope to find another
Somewhere in this darkness.
A light that's brighter and stronger
That will blind me to the pain

But for now I stumble on,
For there's nowhere else to go.
The pain inside seeking a light
To save me from the dark.
