Gleam in the Dark

The dark night spreads like the sea

Like waves of an endless song

My mind beckons to me

Ushering me to move along

My body feels like a cocoon

I do not feel any stars or the moon

My heart is heavy and grows stiffer

Everything seems a fading whisper.

This isn't who I am.

My head aches so deadly

The needle pushes not so gently

Fighting a feeling makes me shiver

Eyes full of blood it makes me wonder

The room is spinning, the clouds are parting

The clock is cracking, in the emptyness I am drowning

How I wish for the night to freeze

How I pray for a moment in the breeze

How I long for my life's essence

How I want to hear the sounds of silence.

I see a star in the distant sky

Radiant beam lights up my eye

Oh yes, a shooting star in the sky

I watch as the fire tail trails by

They say shooting stars come once in a while

Make sure you make your wish before they die

I make a wish, hope it comes true

I have always done, I have waited, but they never do.

I take it upon myself the task

To resurrect my life, others I cannot ask

I tread through the trail awaiting the end

On this road I can only ascend

What lies at the end is the answer to all

The higher I go, the further I fall

I will do what I do best

For men are always put to the extremes of test

I will stand up and give it my all

For if I do that, my soul shall not fall.
